Supporting single-parent families for children care expenses
According to the 2021 survey on the Status of Single-Parent Families, the average monthly income of single-parent households was approximately 58.8% (2.45 milion KRW) of the average income of all households. This indicates that many single-parent families face economic difficulties, highlighting the need for continued support for child-rearing and living assistance for these families.
*Ref. 2023 Population and Housing Census
Number of general households: 22.73 million
Number of single-parent households: 1.49 million
Number of single-parent households raising children under 18: 350 thousand
Supporting programs (such as child-rearing expenses) are for low-income single-parent families whose recognized income is less than 63% of the standard median income (KRW 2.47 million for a three-person household) and who raise children under the age of 18. The program offers child rearing expenses, school supplies for middle and high school students, and subsidies for single-parent family welfare facilities, to help with living expenses.
