Krafton announced that it has seen significant results one year after introducing its childbirth and parenting support program. The company strengthened these measures in February last year to contribute to resolving national challenges, and since the implementation, the number of births within the company has increased significantly. The program focuses on alleviating the financial and social difficulties faced by employees, supporting the entire process from childbirth to child-rearing.

The enhanced policy provides up to 100 million won per child for employees who give birth on or after January 1, 2025. In addition to creating a work environment that balances work and family life, the company has expanded non-monetary support. Measures such as extending parental leave to up to two years and automating the hiring of replacement staff have been introduced. Thanks to this support, the number of births within Krafton from January to April this year reached 46. This is approximately double the 23 births recorded during the same period in 2025 and 21 in 2024.

Krafton is collaborating with the Seoul National University Center for Population Policy to conduct research analyzing the practical effects of the program. This study uses in-depth surveys to analyze the impact of the policy, changes in employee perception, and future directions for improvement and expansion. The results showed that monetary and non-monetary support functioned in different ways. Monetary support played a role in conveying the company's sincerity regarding the low birth rate issue to employees rather than directly inducing childbirth. 83.4% of the employees who participated in the survey responded that they felt sincerity in the company's family-friendly message.

On the other hand, non-monetary policies had a direct impact on perceptions of childbirth. Remote work for childcare, expanded parental leave, prenatal check-up leave for spouses, replacement staff hiring, and psychological counseling for returning employees increased employee engagement. These non-monetary support measures provided practical help in balancing work and family life, leading to a positive perception of childbirth.

Choi Jae-keun, Head of the General Operations Division at Krafton, stated, "We have confirmed that when companies actively participate in solving social problems, they can bring about real change." He added that Krafton will continue to set a benchmark for corporate social responsibility and foster a culture where work and family life can coexist.
