Gov't unveils 2025 plan for N. Korean defectors, boosting education and incentives

The Unification Ministry has shared its latest settlement support plan for North Korean defectors.

The plan expands academic opportunities for the children of defectors and offers tax incentives to businesses that hire defectors.

It also strengthens safety nets for the elderly and working mothers.

Seeking to build upon last year's framework the plan focuses on job creation and talent development aimed at giving defectors the chance to gain a firm foothold here in South Korea.
