Childbirths in South Korea dropped to a record low last year despite decade-long efforts to tackle the country's chronically low birthrate, a report showed Wednesday.
The number of babies born in 2016 reached 406,300, down 7.3 percent, or 32,100, from a year earlier, according to the report by Statistics Korea.
The figure marked the lowest number of newborns since 1970 when the statistics agency started to compile such data.
The crude birth rate, referring to the number of live births per 1,000 people, also came to an all-time low of 7.9, down from the previous year's 8.6.
