Dalseo-gu in Daegu took the top prize at the 2026 Daegu Low Birth Rate Response Best Practices Competition, held Wednesday as part of the city's Childbirth Encouragement Day ceremony.

The district claimed the award for the second consecutive year, following last year's win, reaffirming the strength of what it calls its "Dalseo-style birth-friendly policy."

The competition is designed to identify outstanding low birth rate response policies from districts and counties across Daegu, with entries evaluated on overall excellence and creativity.

Dalseo-gu presented a lineup of everyday birth-friendly policies under the theme "Birth BooM Dalseo, Turning Daily Life ON," drawing strong marks from judges.

Key initiatives include a marriage and childbirth information diary that provides tailored policy information by life stage, and a program that designates 30 resident-friendly childbirth and childcare spaces across the district, where QR codes guide visitors to relevant policy information.

"This award is a meaningful achievement made possible together with our residents and the local community," Dalseo-gu District Mayor Kim Yong-pan said. "We will continue to listen to residents' voices, steadily improve the support they need, and actively roll out birth-friendly policies that people can feel in their daily lives."
