Incheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City will operate a public-private task force (TF) to identify welfare blind spots and establish customized measures.

According to the city on the 5th, the TF, led by the director of Incheon City's Welfare Bureau, includes eight departments under the city, Incheon Welfare Foundation, Incheon Social Welfare Center Association, Regional Self-Support Center, Community Security Council, Incheon City Tong·Ri Leaders Association, and representatives of case managers.

Additionally, the Incheon branch of the Korean Red Cross and local medical experts will participate, along with officials from three districts with a high proportion of low-income vulnerable groups, working together to resolve welfare blind spots.

The TF plans to hold regular meetings at least once a month to share issues and solutions that may arise under the current welfare system and to prepare alternatives. Matters requiring fundamental improvement will be proposed to central government ministries.

Through this, the city aims to establish a practical plan for identifying and supporting welfare blind spots tailored to local conditions by the first half of this year.

An Incheon city official stated, "Although welfare services have greatly improved, welfare blind spots that administrative efforts cannot reach still exist," adding, "We will collect all possible cases around us and prepare measures to establish a welfare blind spot resolution plan unique to Incheon."
