Incheon City Begins Establishing Mid- to Long-Term Population Policy Reflecting Regional Characteristics

Incheon City is preparing a mid- to long-term population policy that reflects regional characteristics.

The city announced on the 11th that it has commissioned the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs to conduct a research project on the "Comprehensive Population Policy Plan (2024?2028)."

This is the first five-year comprehensive population policy plan implemented under the "Incheon City Basic Ordinance on Population Policy," and the city plans to establish a systematic foundation for future population policies in Incheon through this project.

The main research contents include ▲ diagnosis and analysis of the current population status and population structure ▲ setting basic goals and directions for population policy ▲ presenting tasks and implementation strategies for each population policy sector ▲ and the scale of funding and procurement methods.

The city plans to complete the project around October and finalize the mid- to long-term comprehensive population policy plan within the year after expert meetings and other consultations.

Lee Haeng-sook, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Welfare Administration, said, "As this is the first mid- to long-term comprehensive population policy plan established by Incheon City, we expect results that well reflect regional characteristics," adding, "We will do our best to prepare citizen-centered policies and regionally tailored population policies."

Meanwhile, Incheon City established the Population and Family Division within the Women and Family Bureau in February to take charge of population policy tasks.

Starting with the establishment of this comprehensive plan, the city intends to set directions for a wide range of population policy areas and strive to discover Incheon-type population policies that reflect the unique characteristics of the region.
