Korea Financial Investment Association Chairman Seo Youseok Joins "Relay Campaign to Improve Awareness of Population Issues"

Seo Youseok, Chairman of the Korea Financial Investment Association, participated in the "Relay Campaign to Improve Awareness of Population Issues," which is jointly organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Health and Welfare, after being nominated by Han Duhee, CEO of Hanwha Investment & Securities.

This is a nationwide campaign aimed at raising awareness of the issues of population decline and aging that South Korea is facing, while also seeking to establish a foundation for solutions through cooperation between the public and private sectors.

The Korea Financial Investment Association has been operating a workplace childcare facility since the end of 2011, which can be used by the children of employees of its member companies. This initiative helps foster a culture of work-life balance within the financial investment industry.

At the association level, a variety of family-friendly welfare programs are being implemented for employees, including: tuition support for children from kindergarten through university; childcare fee support for children before school age; the introduction of flexible working hours for child-rearing; and differentiated childbirth congratulatory payments based on the number of children.

Seo Youseok stated, "Population issues are a national challenge and are also directly linked to the sustainability of the financial investment industry," adding, "We will continue to consider and put into practice the industry's role in establishing a foundation for securing retirement assets in an aging society, as well as addressing the challenge of asset formation for young people."

Seo Youseok nominated Yoon Byungwoon, CEO of NH Investment & Securities, and Kim Youngseong, CEO of KB Asset Management, as the next participants in the campaign.
