“Family as an Educational Institution” … Gijang-gun Promotes Insurance and Meal Expenses for Infants and Toddlers
Promotion of Infant and Toddler Accident Insurance in Busan Gijang-gun
Considering Home as School ... Plans to Support Tuition and Snack Fees
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun is promoting progressive policies in the field of infant and toddler welfare.
According to Gijang-gun on the 5th, they are considering expanding next year's infant and toddler support projects by launching two new initiatives: 'Enrollment in Infant and Toddler Accident Insurance' and 'Support for Snacks and Meals Expenses for Home-Cared Infants and Toddlers.'
The infant and toddler accident insurance enrollment project involves enrolling infants and toddlers residing in Gijang-gun in group accident insurance. The purpose is to prepare for accidents and establish a stable compensation system to reduce the childcare burden on families.
Currently, Gijang-gun is independently implementing policy projects such as Gijang-gun Citizen Safety Insurance, Gijang-gun Citizen Bicycle Insurance, and health insurance support for third children.
However, the coverage for infants and toddlers is insufficient or limited to third children, making it impossible to adequately prepare for infant and toddler safety accidents occurring within the district.
The support project for snacks and meals expenses for home-cared infants and toddlers provides financial support for snacks and meals to children who are raised at home without attending daycare centers or kindergartens.
Currently, Gijang-gun supports high-quality food material costs and snack expenses for childcare and educational institutions, but home-cared infants and toddlers are excluded from snack expense support, so this project was prepared as a measure to supplement that gap.
