[Nongsuchaksan Newspaper=Reporter Nara Park] In response to the structural crisis of population decline in rural areas, Cheongyang County has put forward "basic income" as a solution. Rather than a simple welfare policy, it is an experiment to change the regional economic structure, formalizing the rural basic income pilot project as the top priority of county governance and leading the way in nationwide policy experiments. Cheongyang County held an unveiling ceremony for a signboard with the slogan "2026 Happy Cheongyang with Basic Income" in front of the county office's large conference room on the 2nd, clearly stating its intention to concentrate all administrative capacity on the rural basic income pilot project for the next two years. The event was attended by County Mayor Kim Don-gon, county council members, and department heads.
