Muan-gun, Population Dramatically 'Increases'
Oryong District Apartment Move-ins... 2,929 More Than Last Year
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) is showing a steep population growth trend, drawing envy from other regions.
According to Muan-gun on the 23rd, the population, which had steadily increased since the provincial office relocation in 2005, slowed down around 2015. However, entering the 7th local government term, with policies to increase the population and the move-in of apartments in the Oryong district, the population sharply increased by 2,929 compared to last year, reaching 84,032.
In response to population decline, various policies have been promoted, including childbirth incentive payments, housing support for newlyweds and multi-child families, welcome support funds for incoming households, Seungdal scholarships for multi-child families, and the creation of a forest for newborn multiples.
Currently, Muan-gun has the largest population among the 17 county-level local governments in Jeollanam-do and is the only urban-rural complex county with a continuously increasing population.
Furthermore, aiming to reach a population of 100,000 by 2022, all administrative efforts are focused on population policies such as youth policies, return-to-farming and return-to-village initiatives, and job creation.
