today (26th), all elementary, middle and high schools, kindergartens, and daycare centers in the metropolitan area were closed. Among the double-income couples, those who have no way to entrust their children are crying because they are uncomfortable. The government has announced that it will encourage family care leave, which is a 10-day unpaid leave system, but many people do not know this yet.

Reporter Kim Hye-min will explain.

A working mom in her 30s is worried about her elementary and kindergarten children who are only at home without going to school.

[Mr. A/11 year old office worker: Although the company strongly recommends (family) care leave, there are many meetings that we have to report face to face and work has not disappeared at all, so I haven't been able to use it yet.]

Corona 19 Kindergartens and elementary, middle, and high schools in the metropolitan area, which are about to open due to re-proliferation, have switched to full distance classes by September 11.

Dual-income couples who cannot afford to care for their children at home for two weeks are very concerned.

In the first half of the year, family care leave was exhausted, and there were many situations where it was not possible to use it because of notice.

The government decided to extend the cost of family care leave, which was due to apply before summer vacation, until the 30th of the following month and continue to support it.

Since office workers taking unpaid family care leave can interfere with their livelihoods, the government has paid up to 50,000 won per day for up to 10 days a year in case of family raising or illness after the coronavirus outbreak.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor urged them to actively use workers who have left family care leave.

In addition, in case of reducing working hours for family caring, in case of introducing a flexible work system such as the government-supported ``Woraval Jobs Incentive'' and the telecommuting system and the time-varying commuting system, measures to support indirect labor expenses are promoted. Do it.
