president's office "in the early stages of pregnancy, 5 days of leave for stillbirth → 10 days of expansion"

The president's office said it will push to expand miscarriage and stillbirth leave from 5 days to 10 days in the early stages of pregnancy, and establish a spouse's stillbirth vacation system to help spouses recover in the event of having a baby or stillbirth.

Yoo Hye-mi, senior presidential secretary for low birth response, said in a briefing today (27th) that she is pushing for safe childbirth and support for high-risk mothers.

He then said he would revise the guidelines for returning local government subsidies in consultation with local governments if they stopped the procedure even though they did not want it during infertility procedures.

In order to support companies that support the culture of work-family balance, it said it is pushing for measures to allow small and medium-sized companies that are family-friendly certified companies to be suspended from January next year if they are selected for regular tax audits by the National Tax Service.

Chief Yoo announced that he would announce more detailed support policies, including such details, at the 5th Population Countermeasures Meeting on the 30th.

In addition, social awareness of marriage, pregnancy, childbirth and rearing is very important, he said, adding that he will actively consider changing the term to "childcare immersion period" instead of "care leave" and "career break woman" instead of "career break woman."
