"Child Care Is Different in Yangsan"... Yangsan City Wins Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award for Child Care Services

Rated Grade A in National Service Provider Evaluation

Yangsan City in South Gyeongsang Province, which has established a comprehensive support system for child care services, has received the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award.

Ultimately, it is these small acts of care that change the fabric of a city.

Yangsan City was selected as a recipient of the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award at the “2025 Child Care Service Communication Day” event, which will be held at HW Convention Center (Jongno-gu, Seoul) on December 10.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 225 child care service providers nationwide, assessing them in four areas-service outcomes, service performance, securing of child care workers, and institutional management-across 12 indicators. Yangsan City was recognized as an outstanding institution in urban-rural areas.

The child care support program provides visiting care services for children under the age of 12 in families experiencing gaps in child-rearing, such as those with dual-income parents. Government support can be applied for by visiting the local administrative welfare center or through the Bokjiro website.

Lee Seongmi, Director of the Women and Youth Division, said, “I would like to express my deep gratitude to the child care workers who have worked hard to improve the quality of our services. We will continue to do our best to reduce the burden of child-rearing and create a caring environment where children can be happy.”
