A View on Civilization History of Low Fertility - From‘the Determined Future' to‘the Making Future’ Kim, Gi-Bong (Kyonggi University) There is a growing fear that low fertility will annihilate Korea from the earth in the future. The government has spent over 100 trillion won over the last 10 years to solve the problem of low fertility. However, the total birthrate is expected to decline continuously, and in 2018 it will reach the rate of zero for the first time. Then, why did the low fertility policy fail? It is because we concerned about the 'llow fertility’ as a population crisis and did not reflect on the humanistic view as a crisis of human life. The subjects of childbirth are young people, not state or society. They are the people who will carry on the future of Korea, and the future of Korea is bright when they are happy. The Presidential Committee on Aging Society and Population made an announcement changing the road-map of population policy: previously, people were encouraged to give birth, but the new policy paradigm will be focused on improving the quality of life. However, when setting up population policy, the target is set for the future not present. The appropriate population for the Korean Peninsula in the future society will be different from the present one. The greatest change in human history is expected to take place most rapidly during the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, In response to these changes, the government should strive to draw the big picture in regards to population policy that is correspondence with the direction Korea is heading towards. The population is a predictable “determined future.” But the future of humans, not the population, as Alvin Toffler put it, is "to imagine, not to predict." In order to demonstrate the imagination of population policy for the future, we must think about the following two questions. Who are the future Koreans in the global multi-cultural society where worldwide interactions and migrations take place. How do we write demographics in the post-human era where artificial intelligence robots coexist with humans? This paper aims to transform the problem of low fertility into a framework to see from the point of view of human rather than the population.
