During the meeting, information was provided on this year's amendments to the three childcare support laws, maternity and childcare support systems, and flexible work support systems for work-family balance. Busan Eomuk, which was selected last year as an exemplary company for work and childcare support systems in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region, shared its best practices.

Kwon Guhyung, the branch manager, stated, "The Ministry of Employment and Labor is continuously expanding support systems to help working parents achieve work-life balance, but small and medium enterprises face practical difficulties in active utilization due to manpower and cost burdens compared to large companies. The government, local governments, labor and management organizations, and related agencies will focus on continuously promoting support systems, providing guidance and inspections at workplaces, and ensuring that the expanded work-family balance systems are well established at the field level through cooperation and collaboration."
