Suwon City and Women's Advisory Committee Join Hands to Overcome Low Birth Rate

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City and Suwon City's Women's Advisory Committee are jointly promoting projects to overcome the low birth rate.

The Suwon City Women's Advisory Committee delivered support funds of 1 million won each to 15 childbirth and multi-child families in the city.

The fund transfer ceremony held on the 16th at the City Hall Reception Room was attended by Suwon Special Status City Mayor Lee Jae-joon, Women's Advisory Committee Chair Kim Oe-sun, and childbirth and multi-child families, among others.

The Suwon City Women's Advisory Committee has established a childbirth encouragement fund of 37.8 million won in December 2023 and is operating low birth rate overcoming projects. Starting with this support for childbirth and multi-child families, it plans to promote low birth rate overcoming projects such as the 'Super Daddy Advisory' program that supports fathers on childcare leave.

Chair Kim Oe-sun stated, "The Suwon City Women's Advisory Committee has significant interest in social issues," and added, "We hope the low birth rate overcoming project will help address the low birth rate problem."

Suwon City Mayor Lee Jae-joon said, "I am grateful to the Suwon City Women's Advisory Committee for preparing funds to encourage childbirth," and revealed, "Suwon City plans to establish a low birth rate response team to actively address the low birth rate issue."

He continued, "I believe that if Suwon City and women's organizations work together and make efforts, we can wisely address the low birth rate problem," and added, "I hope that today's gathering can provide small encouragement and comfort to the parents of multi-child families."
