Family Month
Koreans Expected to Spend Less During 2020 Family Month
With one holiday down and three to go, family month is underway in South Korea. But like with everything, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how Koreans celebrate. Certainly in terms of family gatherings, but also in the way they spend money.
According to a survey by Job Korea in collaboration with Albamon Statistics Center (link in Korean), expected spending for family month was down a whopping 15 percent in 2020 compared to 2019. Children’s Day was affected most, with per-capita spending down from 130,000 won ($107) to 80,000 won ($66). Only spending for Parents’ Day, which will take place on May 8, was expected to rise, if not by much.
