[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Noh-hun] A survey showed that 60% of Gyeonggi Province residents support additional distribution of the "Emergency Disaster Relief Payment."
On June 6th, Gyeonggi Province conducted a public opinion survey on additional distribution of the "Emergency Disaster Relief Payment" targeting 1,000 residents, and released the results on the 11th.
An overwhelming majority of respondents (93%) had experience using either the "Government Emergency Disaster Relief Payment" or "Gyeonggi Province Disaster Basic Income," and the vast majority (88%) evaluated the distribution of "Emergency Disaster Relief Payment" and "Disaster Basic Income" to all citizens as having been done well.
Regarding the plan to additionally provide 200,000 won per person of "Emergency Disaster Relief Payment" to all citizens, 60% expressed support. In contrast, opposition sentiment accounted for 38%.
When asked about government and local government budget spending to overcome economic difficulties caused by COVID-19, residents showed greater agreement with "government and civil relief in the form of emergency disaster relief payments to all citizens for consumer activation" (53%) compared to "financial support to companies to protect crisis companies and jobs" (42%).
Additionally, if "Emergency Disaster Relief Payment" were to be distributed, residents preferred distribution on an "individual basis" (54%) over a "household basis" (40%).
Meanwhile, residents evaluated Gyeonggi Province's response to COVID-19 as "doing well" (85%). This is similar to last month's survey results (86%).
Gwak Yun-seok, Public Relations and Planning Officer of the Province, stated, "Recovery in self-employed sales is being confirmed with the recent distribution of emergency disaster relief payments and disaster basic income, and residents are directly experiencing the effects of consumer activation," and added, "These factors are analyzed to have influenced residents' recognition of the necessity for additional emergency disaster relief payments."
On May 29th, Gyeonggi Province submitted a proposal to the government recommending budget appropriations of 10.3685 trillion won to distribute 200,000 won per person of the second disaster relief fund to all citizens. Governor Lee Jae-myung of Gyeonggi Province previously stated, "Since the economy may deteriorate for a considerable period, it will be necessary to provide disaster basic income at least two or three more times."
This survey was commissioned by Gyeonggi Province to K-Stat Research Co., Ltd., a public opinion research firm, and was conducted via telephone survey targeting 1,000 residents aged 18 and over on June 6th. The confidence level is 95%, and the margin of error is ±3.1%p.
