Supply of 1,000 One-Ten-Thousand-Won Houses and Introduction of National Marriage Congratulatory Money Deduction Program

"Promise to Solve Three Core Youth Issues and Make Gwangsan a Better Place to Live"

Kim Seong-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Gwangsan-gu Eul, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced his second pledge for a "Better Economy! Brighter Future" for Gwangsan and Gwangju, focusing on youth policies.

Candidate Kim stated, "Employment insecurity, housing difficulties, and asset inequality are serious immediate challenges that darken the future of youth and South Korea," adding, "By resolving the three core issues facing youth, I will create a Gwangsan and a South Korea where young people and newlyweds can live well."

As concrete measures to establish a stable foundation for young people's lives, he proposed ▲expanding mandatory employment of local talents in public institutions ▲gradually securing 1,000 Manwon Houses ▲introducing a national marriage congratulatory money deduction program.

Looking at Kim's promises, first, to resolve the serious youth employment problem, the mandatory employment rate for youth in public institutions and public enterprises will be gradually increased from the current 3% to 7%. The mandatory hiring of local talents will also be gradually expanded from the current 30% to 50% to increase job opportunities for local youth.

Additionally, the shared university contract departments will be expanded to cultivate customized talents for regional key industries and advanced industries, and employment interview allowances in the public sector, including public institutions and public enterprises, will be made mandatory.

Secondly, to establish a stable starting foundation for youth and newlyweds and to alleviate housing difficulties, 1,000 Manwon Houses will be piloted and prioritized in Gwangsan and Gwangju, with plans to expand nationwide by establishing legal and institutional grounds.

Lastly, regarding the issue of asset inequality among youth, a national marriage congratulatory money deduction program will be introduced to ease the financial burden of marriage funds for young people. The government will match youth savings with support funds to help them prepare a lump sum for marriage.

In addition, he promised to establish the "Bitgoeul Youth Culture Market Online Platform" to support the distribution, exhibition, and sales of works by young cultural artists in the Gwangju area, thereby providing a practical activity base for young cultural artists.

Candidate Kim emphasized, "If youth have no future, neither Gwangsan, Gwangju, nor South Korea has a future," and added, "Through tailored pledges addressing the three major youth issues of employment insecurity, housing difficulties, and asset inequality across the youth life cycle, I will revive Gwangsan and Gwangju and secure the future of South Korea."
