Distribution of the '2020 Basic Welfare Guidelines' Booklet in Dong-gu, Gwangju

Nation's First Guidebook Published... Expected Improvement in Welfare Felt by Residents

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 29th that it will distribute and utilize the '2020 Basic Welfare Guidelines' booklet at 13 neighborhood community centers and welfare facilities in the district.

The Basic Welfare Guidelines, first established by Dong-gu among all basic local governments nationwide last year, specifically present 48 detailed items across four major areas: ▲Basic living standards ▲Heatwave and cold wave preparedness standards ▲Education and cultural standards ▲Care target standards.

The booklet reflects the welfare basic status of low-income groups and the results of a full survey, containing content aimed at improving the overall quality of life of local residents in key areas of daily life.

For example, the basic living standards for 'children' include specific criteria such as 'Care neighbor children should have mobiles, toys, etc., necessary for each developmental stage,' and 'Care neighbor children should not give up their talents due to economic reasons.'

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, "Going forward, based on the Basic Welfare Guidelines, we will carry out systematic and practical customized welfare administration through cooperation between the public and private sectors."

Meanwhile, last year, Dong-gu formed a TF team of 20 public and private experts in the social welfare field and established the '2020 Basic Welfare Guidelines' through various opinion-gathering processes, including three full surveys of legally low-income households and three collaborative meetings with all departments of Dong-gu Office.
