01 6park.com韩企为员工生育孩子提供7.5万美元奖金 6park.com韩国建筑集团富荣(Booyoung)为集团员工生育孩子提供奖金，每生一个孩子奖励7.5万美元，这是政界人士和企业努力应对该国人口危机之际，推出的众多引人注目的奖励措施之一。 6park.com“If Korea’s birth rate remains low, the country will face extinction,” Booyoung chair Lee Joong-keun told employees last month. 6park.com富荣董事长李重根(Lee Joong-keun)上个月对员工说：“如果韩国的出生率一直保持低水平，这个国家将面临灭绝。” 6park.comSouth Korea’s total fertility rate — the average number of children a woman is expected to give birth to in her lifetime — fell from 0.78 in 2022 to 0.72 in 2023, according to government figures. It is projected to fall to 0.68 this year, far below the 2.1 the OECD says is necessary to ensure a broadly stable population. 6park.com政府数据显示，韩国的总和生育率——一名女性一生中预计生育的孩子的平均数量——从2022年的0.78下降到2023年的0.72。预计今年生育率将降至0.68，远低于经合组织(OECD)所说的为确保人口基本稳定所必需的2.1。 6park.com——本文2024年3月28日发布于FT中文网，英文原题为$75,000 for a baby?

02 6park.com研究：极地冰川融化影响全球计时 6park.com最新研究表明，人类活动引起的气候变化可能正在影响全球计时，格陵兰岛和南极洲冰原融化导致地球自转速度减慢。 6park.comScientists have established the slowing effect of ice melt by measuring the changes in Earth’s gravity field, which have been recorded by satellites since 1976. 6park.com科学家们通过测量地球重力场的变化，确定了冰融化的减速效应。自1976年以来，卫星就在记录地球重力场的变化。 6park.comBecause the Earth’s rotational speed is not constant and moves out of line with clocks since the world adopted co-ordinated universal time — or UTC — in the 1960s, an extra second has been added periodically. This is known as a “leap second”. 6park.com由于地球的自转速度不是恒定的，并且自20世纪60年代世界采用协调世界时(UTC)以来，地球的自转速度与时钟的运行速度不一致，因此定期会增加一秒钟。这就是所谓的“闰秒”。 6park.com——本文2024年3月28日发布于FT中文网，英文原题为Melting of polar ice having effect on global timekeeping, research says
Climate change caused by human activity may be affecting global timekeeping as the melting of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica slows the Earth’s rotation, the latest research says. 6park.com
