There are things that change as of New Year 2021. First, the minimum wage based on the hourly wage rises to 8,720 won. Although it has risen by 130 won over last year, it is the lowest rate (1.5%) since the introduction of the minimum wage system in 1988. Excluding this year, the lowest wage increase was recorded in 1999 (1,525 won , 2.7%), just after the financial crisis of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Under the modified minimum wage, if you work 40 hours a week, your monthly salary, including weekly vacation pay, is approximately 1.82 million won. As amendments to the law were violated last year, abortion surgery, the so-called ‘abortion’, is not subject to punishment this year. The crime of abortion, enacted in 1953, will be abolished after 68 years. This is because in April 2019, the Constitutional Court ruled against the criminal provisions on abortion (part of article 269 (1) and article 270 (1)), but the National Assembly failed to present an amendment for one year and nine months. In October, the government proposed an amendment to allow abortions within 14 weeks of pregnancy while maintaining the abortion, but it is still pending in the National Assembly.

On the 30th, in the National Assembly, women and medical experts met to discuss the preparatory tasks for the “decriminalization of the suspension of pregnancy.” The crime of abortion disappeared beyond the legislative term, but it is necessary to prepare support measures for a safe interruption of pregnancy. The experts agreed that it is important to have a system that provides correct information about the termination of pregnancy. This is because most women obtain inaccurate information about the termination of pregnancy through Internet communities and social networking services (SNS).
The free education, which applied only to the second and third grades of secondary school, will be expanded to all grades from 2021. A total of 1.24 million people receive free education. According to the Ministry of Education, the annual tuition charge of 1.6 million won per student, such as the admission fee, the tuition fee, the school operation support fee, and the textbook fee will be reduced. Munmo (46), a father of a daughter who will be entering high school this year, said, “Even 1.6 million won in tuition savings will ease much of the burden on the household, but in the long run, I hope that the country can devise a plan to reduce the costs of private education. ” Said. However, some special purpose high schools, such as private charter high schools and foreign language high schools, are excluded from free high school benefits.
In the new year, the sergeant’s salary exceeds 600,000 won for the first time. According to the “changing defense work” released by the Ministry of Defense on the 28th of last month, the salary of soldiers for the new year will increase by 12.5% over the previous year. Accordingly, the sergeant’s monthly salary of 54,900 won last year will increase to 6,8,500 won.
