Incheon Metropolitan City announced that
it will provide childcare disaster subsidies of 100,000 won per person at the
end of November to children raised at home among the children of foreign
residents in the city.
The city of Incheon has enacted a support
ordinance to provide childcare disaster subsidies to infants and young children
who are in socio-economic childcare disaster due to the prolonged COVID-19
outbreak.
However, 2,750 children of foreign
residents raised at home were excluded from the support list, and the
"Foreign Residents and Multicultural Families Support Ordinance" was
revised on October 20 to provide childcare disaster support to children of
foreign residents, and applications will be received from November 8 to 19.
The target audience is preschool children
aged 0 to 6 years old, born between January 1, 2015 and October 31, 2021 who do
not attend daycare or kindergarten and are raised at home. Foreign residents
must have lived in Incheon City for more than 91 days and completed alien
registration before August 31, 2021.
Children attending kindergartens and
daycare centers who receive support from the Education Office's education
recovery subsidy and Incheon City's childcare disaster subsidy are excluded.
The childcare disaster subsidy for
children of foreign residents must be applied for individually by visiting the
eup/myeon office or dong administrative welfare center having jurisdiction over
the place of alien registration, and it plans to complete the payment of
100,000 won per child to the applied account by the end of November.
Jinsook Cho, Director of Gender Equality and Family of Incheon Metropolitan City, said, “I am glad that we can provide some comfort to foreign residents who have been marginalized due to the prolonged Corona 19 by providing childcare disaster funds. And we will continue to make efforts to ensure that foreign residents are not alienated and settle in the local community stably and harmonize."
