[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 24th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, stated, "We will take measures such as disclosing the identities of those who fail to pay child support and strengthening the enforcement of child support payments to ensure that no one is left without child support from the other parent."


After visiting the Orphan Rights Solidarity located in Guro-gu, Seoul, Yoon said, "We will raise the support criteria for single-parent families to 100% of the median income." Orphan Rights Solidarity is a human rights organization for children who have left childcare facilities.


He added, "We will also expand support for youth being raised by a single parent."



Furthermore, he emphasized, "We will expand the agencies and personnel responsible for child protection, such as child protection specialized agencies, and make thorough efforts to identify children at risk of abuse and prevent abuse," and "We will significantly increase support to help children who have left facilities to become independent stably."
