Compliance Rates for Social Welfare Facility Labor Cost Guidelines Vary by Facility Type
Published
According to data recently released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the compliance rates for labor cost guidelines in social welfare facilities, based on the 2027 government proposal, vary depending on the type of facility.
The survey results showed that the compliance rate for labor cost guidelines in local children's centers was relatively high at 95.4%. Additionally, the compliance rate for 'Together Care Centers' (Dahamgge Dolbom Centers) was recorded at 90.4%, confirming that they are stably following the government's guidelines.
However, not all social welfare facilities are at the same level. Some facilities, such as residential facilities for people with disabilities, show relatively low compliance rates, indicating a need for improvements and the development of countermeasures.
The government provides labor cost guidelines every year to improve the working conditions of those employed in the social welfare sector. This data serves as an indicator of how well each facility is implementing the government's recommendations.
Moving forward, the government plans to closely examine the on-site conditions of facilities with low compliance rates. It intends to continuously supplement support policies to ensure that all social welfare facility workers receive fair treatment.
