National Assembly passes law to expand welfare and academic support for 'youth single-parent families'

The National Assembly passed an amendment to the Single-Parent Family Support Act to expand academic support and welfare service support to "youth single parents" who raise their children alone.

The amendment allows the state or local government to provide public or private welfare service information to benefit when a single parent of a teenager reports the birth of a child.

It also includes the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Education investigating the suspension of single parents of teenagers so that they can support their studies in duplicate, and the state or local government supports legal counsel and genetic testing costs needed to confirm the birth of children.

A revision to the 119 Rescue and Emergency Management Act was also approved to add "consultation, guidance, and guidance for pediatric and adolescent patients" to the center's work so that 119 emergency situation centers can provide necessary medical counseling for pediatric patients.
