The decision was made to pay the same level of Celebration Support Grant to married employees, in order to ensure fairness, as unmarried employees receive less benefits than married employees.
Unmarried people are often dissatisfied with the benefits provided by large corporations, such as wedding gifts, various congratulatory gifts, and children's education funds, which are concentrated only on married people.
The system was created so that unmarried people could receive the same benefits. The amount is about 4 million won. It has attracted a lot of attention from employees.
A source said, "As the right of individuals to choose marriage has become more diverse, unmarried employees are also being given the right to choose.
"The purpose is to give the same benefits as marriage." In fact, the younger generation's views on marriage and childbirth are changing dramatically. Two out of five people in their 20s say they can have children without getting married.
It was analyzed that this result was due to the fact that people are no longer aware that they have to get married.
This is a 12.5 percentage point increase over the past 10 years, compared to 2014, when 30.3% answered affirmatively.
The number of people who answered "somewhat agree" increased slightly from 24.6% in 2014 to 28.6% this year, but the number of people who answered "completely agree" increased slightly compared to 10 years ago.
The number of people who said they were completely opposed to the plan, indicating a “strong disapproval,” fell from 34.9% in 2014 to 22.2% this year.
By gender, 43.1% of men in their 20s and 42.4% of women in their 20s answered that they could have children without getting married.
