Gyeonggi-do Provides 200,000 KRW per Child to Youth Parents Aged 24 and Under

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will provide 200,000 KRW per month per child in childcare expenses to households with 'youth parents'.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 30th that it will conduct a 'Childcare Expense Support Pilot Project' targeting youth parents under the age of 24 who are raising children, and will begin accepting applications from the 1st of next month.

The target is youth parents residing in Gyeonggi Province whose household income is below 60% of the median income (2,516,821 KRW per month for a three-person household). It is estimated that there are 828 children of youth parents in the province who meet these qualifications.

Youth parents wishing to apply should bring their ID and visit the administrative welfare center in their jurisdiction (eup, myeon, dong) to submit their application.

Required documents include a resident registration certificate, family relation certificate (marriage certificate), income statement or proof of facts (submitted separately by father and mother), and a copy of the bankbook.

However, those receiving welfare benefits under the 'Single-Parent Family Support Act' are not eligible for duplicate support.

If selected as a support recipient, benefits will be paid for up to six months from the month of application until December.

An official from the province stated, "We hope this childcare expense support project will help youth parents raise their children stably despite difficult circumstances."
