South Korea has the world's lowest birth rate.

The government's offering money to support families with babies.

But the birth rate is still decreasing.

Yong Hye-in had a baby while working for the government.

She says the government wants more people but they don't want babies in public places.

In Seoul, 'No Kids Zones' are becoming common.

The idea that children should stay hidden and quiet is creating this problem.

Yong

Hye-in couldn't visit her favourite places with her new born baby, which made her sad.

I remember crying so much on my way home."

In Seoul, more and more 'No Kids Zones' have appeared.

There are various reasons for this, from children being noisy to their parents being irresponsible.

Yong Hye-in, who works at the National Assembly, has this problem too.

Her workplace doesn't give her time off as a new mother.

She leads the Basic Income Party.

She believes in creating equal opportunities, giving equal pay to men and women and changing social attitudes towards parenting.

She thinks this is the key to stopping South Korea's low birth rate.
