To actively respond to the ongoing population decline, the county is putting all its efforts into increasing the population, which is the foundation of the county's competitiveness, by encouraging all employees to move in, discovering and registering residents who live in the area but have not officially moved in, and conducting address registration campaigns with companies, institutions, and social organizations.

All departments and towns/villages are participating in the campaign, which will be extended until the end of the year to include related institutions, companies, and organizations within the county.

On the 21st, officials visited Gochangbuk High School and Gochangbuk Middle School to explain the background and necessity of the address registration campaign to students and faculty members to gain their understanding and support.

They also introduced and promoted various support policies, including the newly established moving-in congratulatory allowance this year, as well as support for childbirth, childcare, and housing.

In particular, many students showed great interest by inquiring about the moving-in congratulatory allowance given to middle and high school students who move in, and they also pledged to actively participate in the Gochangae (愛) Address Registration Campaign.

Shim Deok-seop, the county governor, said, “The issues of local extinction and population decline are problems that all residents must care about and work together to overcome. We especially urge those who actually reside in the area but have not officially registered their move to actively participate.”
