Mission Sex Control
An article mentioning the 2006 South Korean film of that title in which "a public servant in charge of population control goes to a small town and visits every house in the evening to prevent townspeople from having sex" — Population Education. "Set in the era of President Park Chung-hee, the movie comically describes the conflict between the public servant, who promotes birth control, and farmers, who believe procreation is the most valuable thing they can do."
The article notes, "In the 1970s and 80s, the government installed population towers showing population increase every second at all train stations and bus terminals to make people guilty for having babies." Now, however, "[a] different form of population education to promote childbirth is set to begin amid the country’s low birth rate, which has reached a point where it threatens the future of the nation."
