Gimje City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] Gimje City, Jeonbuk, marked one year since the implementation of its population policy ordinance by evaluating its own achievements and sharing excellent collaboration cases.

On the 12th, the city held a session titled “Gimje City Population Policy! Questions and Answers” in the main conference room for about 40 population policy-related officials, including heads of eup, myeon, and dong offices and managers, where they presented outstanding public-private collaboration cases and conducted guideline training.

This training included progress reports on discount-affiliated stores for pregnant women and multi-child families, reports on excellent public-private collaboration cases, reports on childbirth support policies, dissemination of population policy guidelines, and a Q&A and discussion session.

Afterwards, the participants shared future directions for population policies and childbirth promotion, providing an opportunity to strengthen the practical capabilities of the officials in charge.

Population policies introduced that day attracted attention, including the Baekgu-myeon childbirth promotion project, Gongdeok-myeon village-wide birth celebration social atmosphere creation project, Seongdeok-myeon’s “HAPPY Seongdeok Creating a Second Hometown” settlement support, and Yochon-dong’s “Gimje Love I ♡365 Yochon-dong.”

A practical team leader, Mr. A, who attended the presentation, said, “It was an opportunity to once again recognize the seriousness of the decreasing population in Gimje, which is declining more and more,” adding, “Sharing excellent cases challenged us to achieve results in the ongoing public-private collaborative population specialization projects.”

He continued, “The Q&A session on population policy was a meaningful time that clearly resolved the usually ambiguous practical aspects of population policy.”

Mayor Park Jun-bae said, “Gimje is included among 12 nationwide shrinking cities, with a population decrease of about 20,000 compared to ten years ago. Amid this population decline crisis, we are focusing on five package policies, including a 10 million won marriage congratulatory grant, to make Gimje a city where young people return and live well,” adding, “We will concentrate city administration capabilities so that young people can settle in Gimje and nurture their dreams and hopes.”
