Gwangju City Conducts Single-Person Household Survey Until the 24th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City has taken measures to support single-person households, which accounted for more than 30% of all households as of last year and continue to increase.

Gwangju City announced on the 1st that it has been conducting a survey on the living conditions and policy demands of single-person households from the 29th of last month until the 24th of this month.

This survey, conducted through the Gwangju Women and Family Foundation's "Basic Plan for Supporting Single-Person Households" research project, is planned to produce practical results on the actual conditions of single-person households by combining a questionnaire survey targeting about 1,500 people and in-depth interviews conducted with various groups such as elderly living alone.

Based on the results of this research, Gwangju City plans to establish a basic plan for supporting single-person households by the end of this year by discovering effective policies. The city enacted related ordinances last year.

Kang Young-sook, Director of the Women's and Family Bureau of the city, said, "We hope that this first-ever survey on single-person households will serve as a foundation for understanding the living conditions of various categories of single-person households and for establishing tailored policies," adding, "We ask citizens to actively cooperate to derive meaningful results."
