Nak-Yeon Lee “Expanded Child Allowance to 18 Years Old, National Injury Allowance”

Together with the Democratic Party’s representative Lee Nak-yeon, he announced that he would review both the selective payment and the universal payment while formalizing the payment of the Corona 19 4th disaster support fund. It also laid out a sketch of the new welfare system called’National Living Standards 2030′, such as extending the child allowance to the age of 18 and paying injuries and sickness allowances to all the people.

Lee, who gave a speech at the representative of the parliamentary bargaining organization on the 2nd, said, “Vaccines and treatments are also needed for people’s livelihood and economy.”

Representative Lee said, “Not too late, we will organize a sufficient scale of supplementary administration.” He explained, “We will help the vulnerable and the victims who are confined to the cliff due to quarantine measures,” he said. “For the support of the whole country to promote the economy, we will examine the corona trend and decide when to pay it.” Lee added, “We will also discuss with the opposition party at an appropriate stage.”

Representative Lee’s speech on this day seems to coincide with the statement of President Moon Jae-in on the previous day (1st). President Moon said at a meeting of the Blue House chief and advisors on the 1st that “the 3rd disaster subsidies such as small business support funds and emergency employment stabilization subsidies are being quickly paid, but it is very insufficient to prevent continued damage.” The 4th disaster support payment is imminent. It was analyzed whether it was a thing or not. 4.7 Before the by-election of the mayors of Seoul and Busan, the passport can take out the Disaster Subsidy Card.

“Our finances are relatively strong. Last year’s fiscal deficit is the lowest in 42 major countries,” Lee said. “When it is resolved, it can be replenished. The government’s finances should be a stepping stone for recovery and leap forward.” .

New welfare scheme “Income support by life cycle, national injury and illness allowance”

On the 2nd, the most anticipated of the negotiations’ representative speech was Lee Nak-yeon’s’New Welfare’ initiative. Representative Lee’s speech was titled’The People Ask About the Role of the State, Going Over the Corona to a New Welfare Country’.

Representative Lee said in a speech, “The Kim Dae-jung government introduced the Basic Livelihood Security System and reorganized the four major insurances, laying the foundation for a welfare state. The Roh Moo-hyun administration dramatically increased the welfare budget and began to respond in earnest to the low birth rate and aging population. The Moon Jae-in administration. “We have expanded the horizons of welfare with Moon Jae-in care, new child allowances, and free high school education,” he argued, saying, “Now we must go to a sustainable welfare state and new welfare system.”

He said, “Our social welfare expenditure was 3.9% of GDP in 1997. It exceeded 12% in 2019. Korea will be the world’s first country to leap from the poorest to a welfare state,” he said. It’s not enough.” Representative Lee said, “Millions of non-regular workers are excluded from the four major insurance policies, and half of the elderly are in poverty. Public childcare facilities to entrust children and nursing homes to serve parents are insufficient. In particular, the increase in single-person households is by household. It is disabling the existing welfare system provided.”

As a countermeasure, Lee, who brought up the’National Living Standards 2030′, said that the initiative aims at both the minimum and appropriate standards for welfare. Representative Lee said, “The minimum standard is the state’s duty to ensure a minimum human life, and the state should start it in the near future. The appropriate standard is the standard of living that is appropriate for the middle class, and the national goal to achieve by 2030. “I explained.

With the’New Welfare’ policy, ▲income support for each life cycle of children, youth, adults, and the elderly ▲Expand the child allowance, which is currently applied until the age of 7, to the age of 18 ▲Introduction of the national injury and illness allowance ▲Expand to 40% of full-day care ▲ It suggested the installation of at least one public elderly care facility per city, county, or district.

However, CEO Lee did not come up with a detailed legislative plan for this initiative and said, “I look forward to active discussions from the political parties, civil society, and academia.” It is read to mean that he will materialize it with his presidential welfare pledge in the future rather than making it a reality right away.

Last month of the presidential term… Urged to pass the 3rd law of win-win solidarity

Representative Lee Nak-yeon also urged the prompt passage of the’Coexistence and Solidarity 3 Act’ (Loss Compensation Act, Cooperation Profit Sharing Act, Social Solidarity Fund Act).

In addition, ▲Prosecution Reform Act ▲Press Reform Act ▲4.3 Special Act ▲Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act ▲Asian Culture Center Act ▲Korea Version New Deal, Regulatory Innovation, and Economic Innovation-related Acts as the remaining legislative tasks “I said.

Lee, who has to resign from the party’s office in early March in order to run for presidential election, is actually the last opportunity for the extraordinary National Assembly in February to achieve legislative results as party representative. Recently, it seems that it is aiming for a rebound in approval ratings through such achievements as it is being pushed back in the competition for approval ratings as a presidential election runner.

The key person in charge of Lee is <오마이뉴스>In a phone call with him, he said, “There are still opportunities to rebound in the future, such as the results of the last remaining February at the National Assembly and the results of the April by-election.”
