[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Work-Life Balance Support Center for Working Moms under the Gwangju Metropolitan City Work-Life Balance Support Headquarters announced on the 25th that it is operating a 'One-Stop Financial Consultation' service to resolve the financial difficulties faced by dual-income couples experiencing economic hardships due to parental leave and other reasons.

The consultations are conducted one-on-one by financial consultants registered as family-friendly professionals at the Work-Life Balance Support Headquarters.

The financial consultation is available to a total of 15 people on a first-come, first-served basis, and participation is free of charge. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Work-Life Balance Support Headquarters.

Working moms and dads who wish to participate can download the application form from the Gwangju city website or the Work-Life Balance Support Headquarters website and submit it via email or fax.
