The education provided guidance on 123 support benefits throughout the life cycle in Gwangyang City, from pregnancy and childbirth to old age, and included customized lectures such as an introduction to city administration and a Q&A session on population policies, receiving great positive feedback.

The city is proactively responding by implementing 90 customized population policies across five major tasks: ▲expanding residential infrastructure ▲childcare and nurturing ▲supporting youth independence ▲supporting vitality in old age ▲responding to population changes, all aimed at realizing 'Gwangyang, a sustainable city where all generations are happy.'
