[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 24th that it is making every effort to "maintain a population of 54,000" to create a happy Yeonggwang for its residents.


The county will produce and distribute promotional booklets and leaflets that compile population policy-related projects and benefits scattered across each department to promote population increase.


In addition, banners summarizing population-related policies will be posted in places frequently visited by residents, such as eup/myeon offices, the comprehensive civil service center, and health centers, to improve residents' access to information. Efforts will also be made to encourage related organizations and social groups to participate in the "Yeonggwang-gun Population 54,000 Maintenance" campaign.


Promotional materials on population policies will be mailed to institutions and organizations located in the county, and the newly launched "My Workplace Address Campaign" incentive support project for institutions and companies will be promoted this year to encourage employees with addresses outside the county to transfer their residence.


Since establishing the Population and Job Policy Office nationwide for the first time in 2019, the county has been implementing a five-year population policy plan. In its third year, the county plans to intensify efforts on 80 projects across three divisions to enhance population inflow effects and create a vibrant, happy city.


First, as part of welfare and culture division projects, various initiatives that residents can feel, such as marriage encouragement funds, support for purchasing childbirth congratulatory items, and operation of shared childcare centers, will be promoted to create a childbirth, care, and educational environment filled with the smiles of parents and children.


To foster a county where youth hope blossoms, the job and youth division projects will implement Yeonggwang-type youth job incentives, the creation of a workshop street dreamed of by youth, and the Youth Hope Stepping Stone Savings Account, supporting stable job creation and cultural activities for young people.


In the residential environment sector, the county plans to promote projects such as urban regeneration New Deal projects, construction of happy housing, and support for housing for newlyweds and multi-child families to make the county lively in every corner.



Governor Kim Junsung said, "To improve the county's declining population trend, we will implement customized policies to prevent population outflow and encourage population inflow," and added, "We ask all residents to actively participate in the 'Yeonggwang-gun Population 54,000 Maintenance' campaign."
