Through this agreement, the city plans to create a high-quality Busan-type Integrated Neulbom ‘Cherished Like You’ specialized program by introducing private sector expertise based on public interest and to create jobs for women whose careers have been interrupted by pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.
