Ulsan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Ulsan City has established and is promoting the "Ulsan City Comprehensive Population Policy Plan," aiming to become "a city where all generations are happy and want to live."

On the 22nd at 4:30 PM, Ulsan City will hold the "Population Policy Committee" meeting in the situation room on the 7th floor of the city hall main building. The committee will deliberate and approve the "1st Ulsan City Comprehensive Population Policy Plan."

The committee set three main goals for the five-year period from 2022 to 2026: creating a sustainable city, improving citizens' quality of life, and strengthening adaptability to changes in population structure.

To achieve these goals, the committee presented three major strategies?▲building a foundation for future growth cities, ▲strengthening tailored support throughout life stages, and ▲proactively responding to population changes?along with 12 strategic tasks and 76 detailed tasks. The project budget totals 3.9041 trillion KRW over five years.

Key tasks include creating quality jobs through promoting future new industries, expanding housing supply and providing customized housing support, drastically improving transportation infrastructure, establishing cultural and tourism resource bases, and creating a smart living environment to build a foundation for future growth cities.

Additionally, the plan strengthens tailored support throughout life stages by fostering a supportive childbirth environment, enhancing social responsibility for child care, reinforcing the foundation for youth life, supporting social activities for the new middle-aged generation, and providing stable social services.

The city plans to proactively respond to population changes by building a vibrant and healthy aging society and forming a consensus on population measures among all citizens.

An official from Ulsan City stated, "We will do our best to make Ulsan a city where all generations are happy and want to live."

Last October, Ulsan City elevated the status and role of the committee by revising the "Ulsan City Population Policy Basic Ordinance," upgrading the chairperson position from the Deputy Mayor to the Mayor of Ulsan.

The number of committee members was also expanded from up to 20 to up to 30. Currently, there are 28 members on the committee.
