Industry is necessary for cities to survive...Semiconductor-region joint growth role model
Youth population outflow and national population decline have made the crisis of regional extinction a reality. Even Busan, Korea's second-largest city, is experiencing a decline in its young population due to outmigration, earning it the epithet of "old age and the sea," and in this context, regional industries have been shown to have significant impacts on regional growth, suppression of population outflow, and population inflow. In particular, in regions where the semiconductor industry is located, positive factors such as increased population inflow, employment creation effects, increased tax revenue, and policy support have promoted urban growth. The cases of Japan's Kyushu, which is becoming a semiconductor hub, and Korea's regions such as Yongin-Hwaseong-Pyeongtaek, known as the Korean Silicon Valley, have established themselves as representative examples of semiconductor-driven regional growth.
