President Moon told a meeting of the head of the Blue House and his advisers on day 1 that “grants for the third disaster, such as small business support funds and emergency grants for job stabilization, are being paying quickly, but it is very insufficient to avoid ongoing damage. ” The 4th disaster aid payment is imminent, it was analyzed whether it was a thing or not. 4.7 Before the by-election of the mayors of Seoul and Busan, the passport can take out the Disaster Subsidy Card.

New Social Assistance Plan “Life Cycle Income Support, National Injury and Illness Allowance”

On the 2nd, the most anticipated representative speech of the negotiations was Lee Nak-yeon’s “New Welfare” initiative. Representative Lee’s speech was titled ‘People Ask About the Role of the State, Handing Over the Crown to a New Welfare Country.’

Representative Lee said in a speech: “The Kim Dae-jung government introduced the Basic Livelihood Security System and reorganized the four major insurances, laying the foundation for a welfare state.

He said: “Our welfare spending was 3.9% of GDP in 1997. It surpassed 12% in 2019. Korea will be the first country in the world to jump from the poorest to a welfare state,” he said. “Is not sufficient”. Rep. Lee said, “Millions of non-regular workers are excluded from the top four insurance policies, and half of the elderly live in poverty. Public daycares that entrust children and nursing homes to care for parents. “They are insufficient. In particular, the increase in One-person households is per household.

Representative Lee said: “The minimum standard is the duty of the state to guarantee a minimum of human life, and the state should initiate it in the near future.
