If you work in the South Korean Ministry of Health and the lights go out at 7pm today then it’s ok, they’re suppose to. Your job is to leave the building head home and enjoy some “quiet time” with your spouse and  if she ends up pregnant then congrats, it has all gone to plan.

The experiment is to be repeated every month and is the latest attempt on increasing birth rate in a country that sits in the bottom ten across the world. Other incentives that the government have implemented include gift vouchers for bearing multiple children and social gatherings organised by the department to bring bureaucrats together.

We know that if the lights went out while we were at work it just means the electricity bill hasn’t been paid, of course working in a light display room this has caused quite a few issues.
