[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has formed a Population Policy Committee and a Working Task Force to accelerate the implementation of population policies for the coming year.

On the 20th, Sancheong-gun announced that it held a "Policy Meeting to Respond to Population Decline and the Crisis of Local Extinction" in writing, presided over by Deputy Governor Jo Hyeong-ho.

About 30 participants, including population policy committee members and working task force members composed of related officials and experts, took part in the written population policy meeting. The meeting shared explanations and opinions on this year's population policy project performance and the sector-specific implementation plans for 2022.

In particular, discussions were held on development plans for population policy projects in 2022, including support for youth housing loan interest, expansion of support for multi-child families (from 3 children to 2 children), public rental housing funds, and support for returning farmers and rural migrants.

Additionally, following the government's decision in October to provide an annual 1 trillion won fund to respond to local extinction, opinions were gathered to discover new customized local policies to address this.

Deputy Governor Jo Hyeong-ho of Sancheong said, "Our county will strive not only to pursue various policies to overcome the population decline problem but also to escape from the population extinction areas," adding, "We will actively cooperate with government ministries to respond to the population decline crisis."
