South Korea Issues Update on Birth Rate Crisis
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Births in South Korea jumped 8.7 percent in April, the fastest monthly rise in 34 years, Seoul's statistics agency said Wednesday. This was good news to officials, who cited an increase in marriages and shifting demographics. Why It Matters South Korea holds the distinction of having the world's lowest birth rate, despite over $200 billion in pro-natal measures—from fertility treatment to subsidized housing. Policymakers worry this will further drag on Asia's fourth-largest economy, now struggling amid trade tensions and a technology sector slowdown. While the fertility rate ticked upward last year to 0.75 births expected per woman's lifetime from 0.72 in 2023, this is still far below the rate of 2.1 necessary to replace a population. Newsweek reached out to the South Korean embassy in the U.S. via emailed request for comment outside of working hours.

Schoolchildren practice the violin in a classroom at Son Shin Elementary School in Seoul, South Korea in this undated file to Know South Korea recorded 20,717 births in April, an 8.7 percent increase over the same month last year and the largest year-on-year jump in births since 1991. Park Hyun-jung, director of population trends at Statistics Korea, credited the rebound to a sustained rise in the number of marriages, which climbed for the 13th consecutive month to reach 18,921. An increase in marriages is a strong indicator of a forthcoming rise in births, as childbirth outside of wedlock is uncommon in South Korea. Park also pointed to a growing proportion of women in their 30s as a key factor. The average age for a woman entering her first marriage is now 31.6. "Increase in marriages, a larger population of women in their 30s, and a more positive perception of having children all appear to be contributing to the recent rebound," Park said. Despite the surge in births, deaths in April totaled 28,785, up 0.8 percent from a year earlier, resulting in a net population decline of 8,067. South Korea has seen more deaths than births each quarter since late 2019, and last year joined Japan as a "super-aged" society, with more than 20 percent of the population now over 65. What People Are Saying Joo Hyung-hwan, vice chairman South Korea's Presidential Committee on Low Birthrate and Aging Society, said of last year's baby bump during a February press briefing: "Given that marriages are a leading indicator of future births, it is very encouraging." "The increased births may have been affected by delayed marriages during the COVID-19 pandemic…But we believe substantive changes in people's perceptions on marriage and childbirth have been the main causes." What's Next South Korean officials are cautiously optimistic and expect births to continue to trend upward as long as marriages also rise. "As the number of births has been increasing significantly since July last year, it is not easy to predict whether the current increase or trend will continue in the second half of this year," one Statistics Korea official told Yonhap News Agency.

4 HBCUs Come Together To Launch Groundbreaking Digital Learning Platform
Source: AntonioGuillem / Getty The HBCU community is celebrating a major milestone with the launch of the eHBCU Consortium Portal, a groundbreaking digital learning initiative led by Delaware State University, Southern University and A&M College, Alabama State University, and Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design (PLC) in Detroit, the first design-focused HBCU in the U.S. The innovative platform offers a flexible and inclusive online learning experience, providing over 33 degree and certificate programs designed to support diverse learners. It features academically rigorous coursework that reflects the historic excellence and unique teaching approaches of HBCUs, along with mentorship and career preparation led by accomplished HBCU alumni and faculty. In addition to academics, the portal fosters a vibrant virtual community that encourages connection, networking, and lifelong relationships. Open to everyone—current HBCU students, alumni, and even individuals who have never attended an HBCU—the portal launches with these four founding institutions but aims to grow and extend its impact across the broader HBCU landscape and beyond. During an interview with NewsOne over Zoom, PLC President D'Wayne Edwards shared that the idea for the eHBCU Consortium Portal sparked in 2020 when the world shut down from COVID-19. 'HBCU students were probably the most affected because the schools weren't prepared to transition from in person to virtual learning,' he explained. 'So, Delaware State's Dr. Tony Allen and Chancellor John K. Pierre at Southern, myself here in Detroit, we really felt like there [was] an opportunity to make a historic statement, and that historic statement is the ability for four HBCUs—all doing different things in all different parts of the country—to actually come together and collaborate on creating virtual programming that allowed students to curate their educational journey.' Source: President D'Wayne Edwards of Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design (PLC). According to President Edwards, PLC students will gain access to a wide range of courses focused on creative career development through the eHBCU Consortium Portal, equipping them with the skills needed to harness their creative talents in ways that open doors to future employment opportunities. In addition to coursework, each program will provide both individual and group mentoring, along with essential coaching from industry professionals in their respective creative fields. These mentors will not only guide students academically but also help them to develop the social and professional skills critical for thriving in their careers. Students will explore everything from building a strong personal brand to managing their digital presence, learning how to present themselves on social media and the skills needed to market their creative talents. They'll also learn how to create personal websites, with extra attention on the small but significant details—like establishing a unique domain name—that are often overlooked. These details are critical and shape how they are going to be perceived in both creative and professional spaces, said President Edwards. 'Talent and the knowledge is definitely one element, but being a professional, how to carry yourself, how to present yourself, how to network—those types of things you don't always necessarily get or retain when you go to college, because you don't realize how important they are until you get off into the real world. We want to bring those things to the forefront. You need the skills and the knowledge, but you also need professionalism and interpersonal skills to survive.' President Edwards added that he's committed to showing students that it's possible to build a successful and financially rewarding career in the creative industries. With over 36 years of experience in fashion and design—including 30 years as a designer at the Jordan Brand—he brings real-world insight and inspiration to the classroom. The HBCU leader achieved a major personal milestone by opening JEMS, the first Black-owned footwear factory in the United States, further proving that creative passion and business success can go hand in hand. 'Even though artists have become much better business people over the years, people still don't think you can have a career in creative fields. So, what we want to show at PLC Detroit is [that] we have the ability to be amazing creatives with amazing long careers. I'm going on 37 years myself as a designer, and our instructors are all industry veterans as well, at a high level for multiple decades.' The eHBCU Consortium Portal is open now and scholarship opportunities are available. Visit the website here.

Shell denies reports of acquisition talks with BP
Shell has denied recent reports in the Wall Street Journal suggesting that the oil giant is in preliminary talks to acquire its British rival, bp, reported Reuters. A Shell spokesperson stated: "No talks are taking place. As we have said many times before, we are sharply focused on capturing the value in Shell through continuing to focus on performance, discipline and simplification." The denial follows a series of similar statements from the company, reinforcing its commitment to internal growth and share buybacks over large-scale acquisitions. BP, with a market valuation of nearly $80bn (£58.2bn) and net debt of $27bn, has frequently been the subject of takeover speculation due to the relative underperformance of its stock. However, the company's true value may not align with its current market price, the report stated. Shell's CEO, Wael Sawan, has consistently maintained that the company sets a very high bar for significant acquisitions, suggesting that repurchasing shares is a more strategic use of funds than a potential purchase of bp. This stance comes amidst industry buzz around the possibility of such a deal, which would be unusual given the current regulatory environment's heightened scrutiny of large mergers. The energy sector has not seen a transaction of this scale since Exxon and Chevron discussed a historic merger during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the terms of any potential Shell-BP deal remain unknown, with no certainty of an agreement, CNBC has reported from unnamed sources that bp could face a break-up if a transaction were to occur. Earlier this month, Shell announced plans to expand its capacity by up to 12 million tonnes by the end of the decade, citing its Integrated Gas president Cederic Cremers. "Shell denies reports of acquisition talks with BP" was originally created and published by Offshore Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
