Jeongseon County Sees Growing Enthusiasm for Selection as Rural Basic Income Pilot Area
The enthusiasm in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province, is rapidly growing as the region hopes to be selected as a pilot site for the Rural Basic Income project.
Recently, various local organizations-including the Jeongseon County Federation of Farmers' Associations, the Prosperity Association, the Village Leaders' Council, the Women's Association Council, and the Jeongseon County Council for the Movement for a Right Life-have displayed around 50 banners throughout the area, wishing for Jeongseon County to be chosen for the pilot project.
In particular, Jeongseon County has consistently presented the potential of rural basic income through various pioneering models, such as local currency-based basic income for residents. The county now hopes that, by being selected for this Rural Basic Income pilot project, a national-level institutional foundation will be established.
