The 'Multiple Children Merit Allowance' is a new type of childcare support allowance introduced for the first time this year in Uljin County, under the slogan "Families with multiple children are national contributors." The aim is to reduce the childcare burden on families with multiple children.

This allowance is provided based on the number of children, regardless of parental assets or income, allowing families to enjoy the benefits of having more children.

The support targets children aged 1 to 12 in families with two or more children. The first child receives a monthly allowance of 50,000 won, while the second and third children each receive 100,000 won per month, with payments continuing every month until the end of this year.

On June 12, 2025, Uljin County held an information session for township and town project managers to review preparations. The county also plans to promote the program to households, as well as to daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary schools.

Applications will be accepted starting July 1, 2025. One parent must visit the local township or town office to fill out the application and receive the exclusive allowance card. After verifying eligibility criteria such as number of children, address, and age, the allowance will be paid within seven days of the following month.

Uljin County expects that providing the full allowance in local currency will not only reduce the childcare burden but also boost local consumption and revitalize the local economy.

County Governor Son Byeongbok stated, "To encourage childbirth, it is most important to create a family-friendly social environment that can ease the burden of raising children for parents." He added, "We will work to spread positive perceptions about raising multiple children and implement policies that treat families with many children at the level of national contributors, so that parents can maintain their quality of life even while raising many children."
