"Care Allowance Should Be Provided to Families Unable to Register Children in Daycare Due to COVID-19"
The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Recommends to the Ministry of Employment and Labor
[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The government has determined that emergency family care allowances should be provided to households unable to register their children at daycare centers due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission recommended this judgment to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 22nd.
Until now, family care allowances were paid up to 500,000 won only when guardians of children already registered at daycare centers took family care leave and provided care at home.
However, due to the special circumstances of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic this year, the Commission believes that support should also be extended to households unable to register their children at daycare centers.
