Jinju City Council Member Jonghak Jeong Proposes Standardizing Support Criteria for Multi-Child Families

Unified Standard of "Two or More Children"


Expected to Resolve Fairness Controversy

Jonghak Jeong, a council member of Jinju City, sponsored the ordinance bill for the partial amendment of three ordinances to expand support for multi-child families in Jinju City during the 273rd temporary session of the Jinju City Council.

Although the "Basic Ordinance on Population Policy of Jinju City" defines multi-child families as those with "two or more children," some individual ordinances specify the eligibility for benefits as "three or more children," which has led to policy confusion and fairness issues.

Jonghak Jeong, a council member of Jinju City, is leading the representative proposal for partial amendments to three ordinances aimed at expanding support for multi-child families in Jinju City.

This amendment bill focuses on standardizing the definition of multi-child families to "two or more children" to expand the scope of eligible beneficiaries.

The ordinances subject to amendment are: ▲ Ordinance on All-Day Care Support in Jinju City ▲ Ordinance on the Establishment and Operation of the Jinju City Childcare Support Center ▲ Ordinance on the Management of the Jinju City Government Building Annex Parking Lot, totaling three ordinances.

The main content is to expand the scope of support by broadening the eligibility for reductions in areas closely related to daily life, such as center/facility usage fees and parking fees, to multi-child families with "two or more children."

Assemblyman Jeong stated, "There has been confusion because the standards for supporting multi-child families differed in each ordinance," adding, "By clarifying the support criteria and expanding the benefits, it will help reduce the burden of childcare and contribute to creating a birth-friendly environment."

The ordinance bill is scheduled to be finalized at the plenary session on April 13, following a review by the Economic and Welfare Committee.
