[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it will relax the support criteria for the college student living support fund for families with three or more children, a multi-child family support project.

According to the county, the existing support criteria required both the parents and all three children to have their resident registration in Sancheong-gun.

However, in cases where college student children moved their resident registration to rent a one-room apartment, support was not provided, causing difficulties.

The county revised and implemented the policy so that support can be provided if the parents (or one child if there are no parents) have had resident registration in the county for more than three months.

The college student living support fund for families with three or more children provides 300,000 KRW per person per academic year (up to 4 times). Applicants must bring a certificate of enrollment and a copy of their bankbook to the local town or township office to apply.

In addition, the county is promoting various support measures for multi-child families. It supports health insurance premiums for the third and subsequent children for five years (with 10 years of coverage) and gives preferential treatment when hiring fixed-term workers.

The county is also promoting fee reduction benefits for county facilities and others.

A county official said, “Through the multi-child family support policy, we hope to create an atmosphere that considers multi-child families and spread a birth-friendly culture,” adding, “We will continue to actively discover and promote various policies to solve the low birthrate and population decline problems.”
