-General Background, , , ~ ... ~

('( 1. The 'Republic of Kore-a:'occupies the southern half of the Korean peninsula, • having:, -an" ar:ea'of 38 thousand square mi les (99, thousand kaf), or 0.07 p'et'ceb:t d-fi.the world. The peninsula, which. is largely mounta'1i:l0us',:) i~!;-sit:t1a:ted at the far eastern part ox, the Asian continefllt"J.

2~rl2The Korean.peopleiis comp~sed; ~f'bnly one race, namely Han race, which is acadeJilitill[!y:- classified as the Tungusic sect 6f the Mongolian,and'ib;"Htftguage)is also one with little dialetic variations. The Korean people has been long influenced by t-tie;confucism of whleh!~he principles are true loyal ty to friends, relatives espechillW"parents;' the aged, rulers, etc. In;recent years, the K01'eaft i ·Ytradi tl6n:alvalues have however become", weakened in the societ:y, al'origt'wi th its industrialization which has been accompanied b"th~;intrbduction of western life style., ,Nevertheless, such traditi'o'nal',vaHues are still spiri tual propa·of Koreans.

3. The Republic-'df~' Korea had ·;'faced adverse effects of dislocation of the national economy due to the divided Koreas and pervasive destructions of the Korean War, in addition to its enormous population pressures and unfavorable natural resource endowments. Wi t~:Jru\;.~~·~~~~iio~ {qf the First Five Year Economic Development Plan in 19'62, Korean ,economy began a shift from its traditionally stagnant agriculture based economy. The

. ,~~cRnomic stru.~ture was:tp~~iLIY):Jll tered with an increasingly rapid economic. growth ,; :duI1~I\g tthe lDe::fle~opment Plan periods. Th~s,~;. were accompanied by ,;:.an ,S>"J!,;raJlJ/development of Korean ~()ciet,y.; such a,s urbaniza~Jpn':i mod~rn.i:zation of the social

secondary industry since the early 1970s. The economic growth is usually evaluated as the most crucial factor in this overall societal transformation since 1960.

5. The country consists of nine Dos (provinces) and six special ci ties(Shis) which hav,e the same status as Dos. The six 'special cities are Seoul-tukpyo1shithe capital of Republic of Korea and the other 5 Jikaishis such a's Pusan, Taegu, Inchon, Kwangju, and Taejon. The six special cities are subdivided into wards(Gus) which encompass a n~mberof" sub-wards (Dongs) . The nine Dos, which comprise both rural and urban areas,are Kyonggi -do, Kangwon-do, Chungchongbuk~do,Chungchongnam-do,Cho11abuk-do,

'Chollanam-do, Kyongsangbuk-9'~, Ky~ngsangnam-do, Cheju-do. Each Do contains cities(Shis) and counties(Guns). The county is sub­divided into collections of townships(Myons) and towns(Eps). The Epcomprises both urban, "and rural characteristics but the Myon is considered as the pU,re rural areas'.

6. The most c;>f Shis undeI,"'each'Do are composed of Dongs. However, the large Shis ,which have usually 500 thousand population and more are dividedintb Gus,which contain Dongs as in case of the six specia.l Silis,. "The'difference is that the Gus under the special Shis have the rights of personal management,

., . .

budget compilation, etc., ,while those under the large Shis are not given such rights. In~ll, theie are 6 special Shis, 68 Shis, 136 Guns, 74 Gus, 175 Eps, 1234 Myons, and 2243 Dongs as of the end of June 1993.

II. Demographic Profile·

7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. According to the censuses, there were 25.0 million people in 1960, 31. 5 million in 1970 and 37.4 million in 1980. In the 1990 x:ound. the population was enumerated as 43.4 million,' ,a den!;ii ~y of 437 people per square kilometres.

8. A typical population phenomena developed along with the changing political situation. ,With the liberation and division of the country in 1945, the Republic of Korea experienced historically unprecedented rapid population growth as a result of a heavy repatriation of Kor~ans from Japan an~ Manchuria and a large influx of refuge,es from the North. During the Korean War(1950~1953).the,deathrate rose sharply. but the loss

of p,opul,ation was offset' by' a seco~d surg~ of: refugees from the North'." '" The population' showed the rapid increasing pattern, in~t~~~ced by the post-war baby-boom.

. . " ~. . ; ,

,'~. $~"... With the i;ni tiation of a national family program which "',', '~as" ,launched as an i'ntegraipart of , national development in ';' .. '1962, ' fertil! ty started 'declini~g,. 'The crude birth rate was

42 . .1 in1960 but declined -dras'tically to 15.6 in 1990. The total fe,r:t;ili ty rate,:sto'od'at' 6.0 in 1960, which continued to lower to reach the replacement level of 2.1 births in the mid-1980s and, ,f\lrther: declinec!': 'to,l. ~" level in 1990. Concomi tant

:"~ith t~e feftility decline, there was a great reductiori in the an~~.lt:il17,ate of populaffcirt"grdlVth., 'The rate declined dra'stically

'ftC;m,' 3:0 percent in 1960 to less than one perceI:1t in the \' beginning of 1990s.

. .~ .. "

10., Such decline in fertility was in great part lea'by the decline in mortality and improveinEmt in women's status. The mortality decline was more stabilized than the fertility decline. The crude death rate was 12;1; iri~ig60 but declined to 9.5 in 1970,6.7 in 1980 and 5.8 'in 199b: As a result,the expectation of life at ,birth, increased ,from pI. 4 years for male and 53.7 j~ais for ,female dUring the period 1955-60 to 66.9 years .nd 75.0 years in 1989, respectively. Equally or more important factors in the recent mortality decline were a rapid expansion of health and medical services tpr9ughout the country. This steady incr~asehas been primarily ~ttributable to the marked reduction in the IMR over the period. Adoption of the National Fami ly Planning Programme in 1962 is, known to have contributed greatly to the improvement of maternal and children's health. Tpe IMR was 53 in 1970. It sharJ?ly fell to 32 in 1'980 and fuither ,declined to 12.8 i~i990.

11. The overall sex composition of population has been insignif~"can'!;,ly changed' -over:the periods. The sex ratio was

'100.7 il1 l.990 which is not quite changed from those in the past years. ,However:.; the sex structure' by age group is qui te dist'inctive..',l'he sex 'ratiO at the 9-4 age group was 111. 2 in 1990,.i~~reased from 108.0 in 1985. The high sex ratios at yo~nger ages resulted" f'rom the strong, son preference of Korean pe'ople which has been' : long influenced by' the Confucism.' The

" '

quite low sex ratios~tolder age groups are also true for 'the Korean people; The reasorifo-r the "relatively, high ratios of older population 'in (Ko":tea :'" can be explained by-the '61gger difference in mortali ty rates :between adul t males and females,

, , which have been greatly favorable for the females.

12. The change in tbe spatial structure of populat~on has coincided with economic development, and~; modernizatio~. The industrialization pr6ces$ .'. strategy Koreali employed '., ,in its

,·inf~tia1 ~tage was export-orfente,d light manufacturing. the light . i' , ...... fndustry located in the'lrban '-"area absorbed the population

from the rural areas. The massive migration from rural areas to urban industrial centers in turn accelerated the transformation

. i3~ There wer,e'onl,'Y" 12 major ci ties in 1945. The number of 'cities incr~~sed: to 74 in 1990. Due to the increase in the . 'numb'er of cities., and the expansion of city . itself by pulling popt.llation,~ l the· degree of urb"n,Jzation as"measured by the proportion of .popu1ation livirlg . in the urban areas(ci ties) has rapidly increased. The ~rban population accounted for only 28.0 percent of the total in 1960. However, it doubled to 57.S percent in 1980 and further increased to 74.4 percent in' 1990.

14. The urbanization process in Korea has been distinc~.ively characterized by the high concentration of populatio~frito a few ci ties. In particular, Seoul has been the main c~nt'er of population concentrationsi'nce 196.0s. . Seoul comprised! 2 .. 4 million in 1960, which isfn'creased to 10,,6 million in 1990 by more than four-folds, accounting for <;me fourth or 24.4 percent of the total population. Seoul's surrounding satelli t~cl.t.ies have experienced the' most 'population gr.pwth;o' . Consequently,.the Seoul metropoli tan area includIng Seoul, . .Inchon and Kyon,ggi;-do comprised 42.8 percent of the total pop~lation. However,. the adverse effects of elQcessive concent.r.atio~ discouraged m~:gration to the, megapolicies.

III. The Civil Registration System

1. Legal frame of the system

16. The civil registration in the Republid;p:f Korea is not a recent development,~ The history of civil 're~~stration dates back to the era of Three Kingdoms(BC 57~AD 668). Its main purposes were to accomodate the Government's tax collection, conscription, compulsory labor, etc. In the era of United Silla

"Kingdom(AD 668-935),. there was also a systematic registration of population and households, which was supposed to be updated every three years.

17. The civil re~:istration system was continued to the Koryo Dynasty(935~1392). The system in this era took the different registration forms according ,to the status of registrants; one form wa~ designed to record the cumpulsdry military and labor duties of the common men. aged 16 and over and another form to record kinship and their slaves.

18. During the Chosen Dynasty(1392-1909), the civil registra­tion was reinforced by, consolidating the system. As one of such efforts, the regulation of Hogusung KupGyuchi was enacted in 1428. . The system was put. under the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice and the local administ:tative offices were imposed to collect the registration forin's' 'and update the

. registers which, contained address, date of' registration. name, age.occup~tion, family name, relation to the head of household, name and age of slaves, etc. The local offices were also reponsible for identifying births, deaths and migrants. The registration forms which were collected by the head of the lowest administrative unit(Yi) were submi'tted, through Gun and province, to the central Government.

19. The system was further evolved by ,t'he promulgation(Royal 1

Decree, 61) of Decree on Household and Population Survey(Hogu- ~

Josa-Gyuchic) in 1896(1st of Sept.). I,ts bylaWS were published by the Ministry of Home Affairs Order 8. Thefrequency fOf

, ".-. t ,> -

and ,;death, etc:" were to be ,rtegistered within 20 days after theii occurrence. The ,Hogu-Josa-Gyuchic was replaced by Minjeock Law({::,~Yil Registrati-onLaw) enacted and promulgated as' the Code 8 in 1909(March) and enforced from the third of April, 1909. It is believed that it is by this law that the civil registers started playing a role as an official document verifying the family relation~hip and p~rsons's sqc~,l status.

20. Under the Japanese rule, the Chosen Hojeock Ryung(Chosen Civil Registration Regulation, Governor Gene(al of Korea Order 154)was promulgated in 1922(18th of Dec.) and enforced in 1923 (5th of July), replacing the previous Minjeock Law. This law stipulated n~wly the followings; (1) The registration' was, put under the responsibility of the

Miriistry of Justicetihe local ~ourts) which was transferred from the Ministry of Home Affairs(the provincial governor and th~ county chief).

(2) An ori'gfil :6f register was .~<;> be ,stQ~ed wi thin the Do or Myon o£ffces and a copy of register was to be submitted to and stored in the sub-office of local court.

, 21. The legal frame of thfe current ci vi 1 registration system

was established by the Act 535 ~hich was ,enacted in 1960(lst of Jan.).lt was firstly revised to' provide for the legal separation of a fain"i ly' in 1962 (29th of Dec., Act 1238). In i tssecond revision in i963(3lst cif Jul., Act 1377), the registra~ions on marriages by justice and'divorces by agreement were added. Through the third revision in 1975 (31st of Dec., Act 2817), the regisiration could be corrected by the authority of chiefs

'of various local offices. The fourth revision in 1978 (6th of Dec~ 1978, "Act 3157) was devoted to pJ:'eparing the system on ascertaining the decisionof'divorce by agreement. The 5th revision was done in 1990(~is~'of Dec., Act 429~), by which the civil registration form was changed but not much.

22. The law provides for nation-wide; compulsory registration 6£ ~ital 'events such as birth~~ marriages, divQrces, foetal deaths and deaths. The current ~ivil registration law provides for'kindof vital events, compulsory registration for entire

Except the agencies in the foreign countries and Dongs(2243),there are 1543 PRUs including 74 Gus, 60 Shis,175 Eps and 234 Myons. There are no secondary units authorized to perform registration. In the Republic of Korea~ there are three levels of administrative divisions: namely, Shi(special cities) or Do (provinces) , Gu~

55. In addition, the NSO returns the copies of forms which are detected wrong, omitted or ambiguous in answering to the the questions. To minimize~uplications and o~issions of the forms and errors in answers t:o the quest~-ons, the, NSO gives the training to the registrars on the overall procedures set forth for vi t'al statistics ".reporting once per year and also carries out twice inspections per year on, the PRU$ and higher level of relevant administratige units with. re~~ft to their work perform­ance.

4. Procedures of statistical processing

56. Once the Population Statistics Division of NSO receives the forms, the staff count the forms bound in files(each file contains 100 forms) in comparison with their number previously reported. The Popul~~ion Statisiics Division s~nds the checked forms to the· Data' Processing Division where the, :staff manually edit as well as encode them according to the manuals provided by the Population Statistics Division ..

5. Publicatio.n and disseminatio.n o.f vital statistics

59. The 17kinds'o.f tabulatio.ns co.mposed the Annual Repo.rt published annually in aro.und the end o.f a year. Ho.wever, the yearo.f issue 'co.vered· the data fo.r the previo.us year: while the last repo.rt was is~ued and disseminated in Dec. 1992, its vi tal statistics referred to. the year o.f' 1991. Thus, almo.st o.ne

_year was·,spent in,pro.cessing and publishing the vital statistics. Such-lo.ng duratio.n fo.r processing data and publishing repo.rts has been criticized fo.r hampering the timeliness o.f vital statistics, and hence the Po.Pulatio.n Statistics Divisio.n is making effo.rts to. reduce the duratio.n lapsed fo.r publishing and disseminating the vital statistics: such effo.rts include carrying o.ut prompt manual editing, co.ding and co.mputerized editing, increasing the number o.fsta'i'f invo.lved in co.mpling and pro.cessing the vital statistics, Clntensifying the training to. registrars to. reduce the erro.rs 6n the fo.rms, etc. The duration to. be reduced by such effo.rts is expected to. be 6 mo.nths.

., ,60. Theevaluatio.no.n the co.verage o.f vital events derived ,fro.m the civirregistrationsyst'em can' be made by two. metho.ds acco.rding to. the type o.f vi tal' 'eVe'rits. For' marriage and ~i vo.rce, the past pattern o.f delayed registratio.n is used to. estimate the. to.tal number of vital events 'by year o.f o.ccurrence. Under this metho.d~it is assumed that the to.tal number o.f vital events is equal to. the number of vital events Which have been registered thro.ugho.ut 20 years after the year o.f o.ccurrence.

61. Ho.wever,the year o.f o.ccurrence which has the duratio.n o.f 19 years up to. the year o.f estimatio.n fo.r delayed registratio.n can no.t inClude the registraticin delayed by the 20 years after theiro.ccurrence. To. estimate the vital events to. be registered fo.r. the 20th year after their o.ccurrence, it is assumed that the cumulative pro.po.rtio.n o.f vital events fo.r the specified

Page 19: United ESAW/CRVSI93116 ORIGINAL: ENGUSH EAST AND SOUTH ...unstats.un.org/.../1993_China_CRVS/docs/1993_Doc.16_Republic_of_Korea.pdf · 7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most

17

year of occurrence which have been registered throughout 19 years after their occurrence to those r~gistered throughout 20 years after their occurrence is same as the proportion for the previous year of occurrence. The assumed cumulative proportion is used to; estimate the total number of. vital events' for the specifiedcyear,of occurrence by dividing the cumulative number of vital events actually registered throughout 19 years after their occurrence by the estimated cumulative proportion.

62. The number of vital events expected to be registered in the~Oth year after their occurrence can be obtained by subtrac­ting the actual registered number of events throughout 19 years after their occurrence from the estimated total number of vital events for the specified year of occurrence. For the specified year of occurrence, the cumulative proportions by the duration given for tne delayed registration can now be calculated. For the following years of occurrence, the cumulative proportions of vital events registered throughout the available duration to the unknown total number of vital events can be estimated in the same manner using the cumulative proportions for the past years of occurrence.

63. Table 3 and 4 show the estimated total numbers of marriages and divorces and the proportions of the actually registered .by the duration of registration, respectively. For the marriage,the coverage rate, if only one year is allowed for the delayed registration, would be 71.1 percent for the year of 1990. If the cut-off is 3 years, it would be 85.9 percent for the year of 1988. If the cut-off year of 5years is accepted,the coverage rate would be 90.8 percent for the year of 1986. For the divorce, the coverage rates would be 77.1 percent in 1990 for the cut-off of I year, 96.5 percen~ in 1985'ior the cut-off of 3 years,and 98.0 percent in 1986 for the cut~off of 5 years. In this method, the numbers of 'marriages and divorces estimated using the events registered throughout 5 years and more are not to be subject to changes by the following estimations.

64. However, this method is inapplicable for estimating births and deaths, since most of infant deaths which were not regist,ered. within the legal time allowance will not be registered forever. ,For this reason, the numbers of births and deaths der,ived from, the most recent population 'projection which was made in 1991 are directly used to estimate' the coverage rates for death and birth registration.

65. According to the Table 5 and 6, the coverage rates for the occurrence year of 1990 would be 93.7 percent for the birth

Page 20: United ESAW/CRVSI93116 ORIGINAL: ENGUSH EAST AND SOUTH ...unstats.un.org/.../1993_China_CRVS/docs/1993_Doc.16_Republic_of_Korea.pdf · 7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most

18

and 94.7 perc,ent for' the death, if the. cut-off of one year is adopted. For the'adoption of cut-off of 3 years, the coverage rates for the occurrence year of 1988 would be 90.3 percent and g4.5 percent, r~spectively. In c~se the cut-off of 5 years is assumed, the coverage rates for' the occurrence year of 1988 would be 92.9 percent and 94.8 percent, respectively. The incomplete coverages for death and birth are mostly attributable to too delayed registration and omission of registration(partic­ularly of infant deaths}.. For the omission of registration for the infant deaths,most of informants perceive not necessary for registering the~ legally, neg1ecti~g the importance tor its statistical use.

66. For checking the quality of answers to the questions,the comparisons between vital statistics and population census and the time series analyses of vital statistics are made on Table 7,8;9 and 10. No significant differences between two sources of data and the systematically changed patterns of vital statistics can be found, assuring the high quality of answers to the vital statistics questions.

7. Users of vital statistics

67. The main consumers of vital statistics are policy-makers, research institutes, the related associations, universities, poli ticalent.erprises, individuals, etc. The consumers as policy­makers include central and local government organizations, National Assembly, other public organizations for administration purpose; the consumers for the research purpose include university institutes, public research institutes such as Korea Institute for Social Affairs and Health,KoreanSociety of Health Statistics, etc.; the related associations as consumers of vital statistics are National Family Planning Association, Korean Population Associatiori, Korean Family Association,' Korean Statistical Association, etc.; individuals as consumers of vital statistics are member of statistical committee and technical committee, students,etc.

68. In general, the vital statistics is provided for those consumers in the form of printed materials, namely the annual reports. The special tabulations are often provided for the consumers. However, it is strictly prohibited from providing the individual raw data for the consumers.

69. On an annual basis,NSO convened the Members of Statistical Council(sub-committee on population and social statistics) to review and discuss the major findings of vital statistics before

were discussed during the meeting.

V. Coordination Among Government Insti tutions' i ,',

70. Two agencies responsible for civil registration anc;t vi tal statistics systems,namely Ministry of Court Administratio,n and National Statistic~lOffic~, have frequently ~ad~eeting. _. on the operation of two systems which.are actually operated in an integrated manner. The subjects discussed during the meetings include the solutions of problems inherent in the system operat~on, especi~lly supervision of local registration offices, the administrative channels [dr' effective system. operation work, the revision of the regi~tration '~orm such as th~ change o~ addition of questions, training to the registrars, inspection on the PRUs, etc. .Within the Population Statistics Division, the vital statistics syste~ is iric6rporated with the population census in projecting population,evaluating both vital statistics and c~nsus, improving both systems, etc.

71. With regard to super~ision and inspection of local registration offices, there have been meetings between Ministry of Court Association and Ministry of Home Affairs, and between National Statistical Office and Ministry of Home Affairs. However, the above meetings have been held on the informal and temporary basis since there is no ,the regular and formal Inter­Agency Government_ Committee, although its establishment has been often demanded for improving civil registration and vital statistics reporting.

VI~ Conclusion and Recommendations

72. The main problems inherent in the Current civil registf­ation and vital statistics systems in the Republic of Korea can be ,summarized in the following three major categories;

. i) Due to administrative and legal factors

73. There is no one unified organization or committee which members are drawn from the government agencies related to civil

Page 22: United ESAW/CRVSI93116 ORIGINAL: ENGUSH EAST AND SOUTH ...unstats.un.org/.../1993_China_CRVS/docs/1993_Doc.16_Republic_of_Korea.pdf · 7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most

20

r~glstration and vital statistics systems to ensure co-operative and coordinative work among the agencies participating in these systems.

74. There have been few efforts to specialize the personnels responsible for civil registration and vital statistics reporting. Since the post 'of registrars 'is: too often changed according to the inner-regulations of the local registration offices, the registrars tend to lack of professional knowledge on and techniques of dealing with civil registration and vital statistics reporting, which in turn degrades their quali ty., It is also problematic that the trainned and well-experienced registrars have few attempts at handing down their knowledge and experience to their successors.

75~ There has been no intensive criteria personnels for the registrars. Appointing' the are too old or too inexperienced often degrades registration and reporting.

to choose the personnels who

the quality of

76. Too heavy burdens in addition to registration work are often imposed on registrars.

77. The registrars have neither incentives nor high priorities within the, local offices. Hence, they are discouraged and strongly want not to be appointed to registration(reporting) work.

78. The laws pertaining to civil registration and vital statistics reporting are overlapped. Civil Registration Law and Statistics Law provide for th~ compulsory obligation of the informants to register vital events in the PRUs and Residential Law provides for the informants to register birth and death in the local offices. However, the executive agencies for the three laws are different; Civil Registration Law is executed by the MCA, Statistics Law by the NSO and Residential Law by the Ministry of Home Affai~s. The problems due to overlapping of the current laws are as follows;

Although vital events are to be registered in accordance with not only Civil Registration Law but also Statistics Law, the primary purpose o£ registration is conside1:'ed as only updating the family registers and hence answering to the statistical questions is often neglected or lazy. The penalties for the non~conformance and delay of registrat -ion are different according to the laws; on the Civil Registration Law 20,000 won or less is imposed, while on the Statistics Law either imprisonment of six months or less or

Page 23: United ESAW/CRVSI93116 ORIGINAL: ENGUSH EAST AND SOUTH ...unstats.un.org/.../1993_China_CRVS/docs/1993_Doc.16_Republic_of_Korea.pdf · 7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most

21

the fine of 50,000 won or less is imposed.

79. None of the current laws pertaining to registration provides f6r iricentives or benefits for the informants.

80. Once the registration forms transmitted to the sub-office of local court, the revision(or correction) of registration ~s very difficult: it should be done by judgement in the court.

ii) Due to technical factors

81. Since birth and death are allowed to be registered(or reported) either in place of residence or in place of permanent domicile and copies of marriage and divorce registered(reported) in the place of husband's permanent domicile should be reported to the place of wife's permanent domicile, there have been duplication in registration.

82. Due to too late dissemination, vital statistics loses its timeliness.

83. Due to the change of questions in registration and the change in administrative boundaries, it is difficult to compile the consistent vital statistics.

84. The frequent change of and coding often degrades the statistics.

personnels for manual editing quality(consistence) of vital

85. Since the questions themselves are from Chinese words and hence difficult to be understood, this tends to mislead to incorrect answers or to omission of answers to a certain questions.

iii) Due to the public

86. The importance of registration for both legal and statistical purposes has been not publicized: many informants often disregard the registration of vital events, especially births who died immediately after born, or are lazy in registration.

87. The informants are often not acquainted with questions themselves and do not know how to fill out the form: in this case, they tend to give optional answers or to leave them in blank.

89. Housewives ~sua~ly tend to have misconception that they do;not have any d4ty to register the events but either their husband or eldest son is responsible for the registration. So, they and the other informants who are low in legal rank order do not have any interest in the registration.

90. There ~~esome problems incur~ed by the socio-cultural fac.tors; i. e. ,c;,onsu~ing custom in nam~ng the, birth or conscious delay for co.I;1fi'.rming the._ birth may o~tltve to a certain stage.

91. There has been intented a~6i~an~~ due to the cost of time and money in registering.

Recommendations

1.- To solve the problems due to overlapping of laws pertaining to registration of vital events, those systems should be integrated under the single law.

The new law should meet the objectives of the three different systems and laws.

2. Administrative superV1Sl.on, per~onnel and budget with regard to the system should be unde.r the control of single ministry.

I,'

3. Reporting death and birth should be transmitted to the medical doctors. inhospita.l, clinics ,and health centers.

·.Itshall solve the problems of omission of birth and infant deaths and incorrectness ot :,causedeath, etc. For the long run, the curriculum for: medical ;personnels should include programs on reporting birth and death.

4. Penalty for delayed, distorted or. qmitted registration should be strengthened. For this purpQse,the penalty should be unified for the different laws.

5. The registrars should be designated according to the strict criteria and should work for the certain fixed duration.

Page 25: United ESAW/CRVSI93116 ORIGINAL: ENGUSH EAST AND SOUTH ...unstats.un.org/.../1993_China_CRVS/docs/1993_Doc.16_Republic_of_Korea.pdf · 7. The Republic of Korea is one of the most

23

In addition, the in~~ntives, for example, priority for promotion, should be provided for the registrars and they should be free from responsibilities other than registration. For the above, the regulation on the registrars should be made.

6. Regular campaign activities would be useful for enhancing the sense of duty for vital registration. Local group meetings and local leaders could be utilized for the improvement of reporting vital events.

7. Opportunities to check the registration status of the events should be included in the administrative procedures for handling death by accidents, burying permission, insurances related to vital events.

8. It is desired to allow and encourage the local offices to process(edit, code and input) the indivitual records and to compile vital statistics for their administrative boundary, which should be reported to the NSO within the specified period for the vital statistics of whole country.

9. To improve timeliness of vital statistics, imputation programmes should be developed, the personnels involved in manual editing, coding and inputting should be trained more intensively, and the system for data processig should be more developed.

10. The questions in the registration form should be designed to help the informants understand and fifl out by means of easing, rearranging, and reducing the questions.
