Busan Urban Corporation to Ease Childcare Burden for Employees... Launches In-House Daycare Center Project

Busan Urban Corporation (BMC, President Shin Changho) is moving forward with the construction of an in-house daycare center to ease the childcare burden on its employees and foster a family-friendly corporate culture.

According to the current Infant Care Act, workplace daycare centers are mandatory for businesses with 500 or more regular employees or 300 or more female employees. Although Busan Urban Corporation is not required to establish a daycare center under this regulation, the company has decided to proceed with the project in light of increasing demand for childcare and daycare services due to the rising proportion of younger employees.

The administrative procedures for this project have already been completed, and the company aims to finish the design and construction by 2026, with the goal of opening the daycare center in early 2027. The facility will have a total floor area of approximately 260 square meters, be two stories high, and accommodate up to 30 children.

Shin Changho, President of Busan Urban Corporation, stated, "We hope that the in-house daycare center will help reduce the burden on employees who are balancing work and childcare," adding, "We will continue to foster a family-friendly corporate culture and contribute to addressing the low birth rate issue in the local community."
