Seongnam to Seek Reconsideration of Youth Basic Income Ordinance
Seoul Economic Daily
Seongnam plans to request reconsideration of its youth basic income ordinance, arguing that tailored support for young people aged 19 to 39 in areas like jobs, housing, and education is more effective than blanket payments to 24-year-olds.

Increased financial burden from the policy, especially after 2027, further motivates the reconsideration.
