저출산시대의 국가의 역할과 법적 과제 - 출산과 양육에 대한 국가와 지방자치단체의 적극적 책임구현을 위한 제언-

Abstract

Parents are primarily responsible for raising their children, but the state and localgovernments are also responsible for childbirth and childrearing. The Infant Care Act, theChild Welfare Act, the Framework Act on Healthy Families, the Equal Employment ofEquality, and the Act on the Establishment of Work -Families balance related to theFramework Act on Low Birth Rate and Aging Society. The basic plan for a low birth rate andaging society can be viewed as a general plan, but too much content is scattered withoutpriorities. It does not set the financial resources, methods of financing, or timing ofimplementation necessary to implement the policy. If the five-year basic plan does not giveaccurate information and predictability to the younger generation and those in charge ofchildbirth and childcare, it will be difficult to recover the birth rate. When the government establishes a childbirth and childcare support policy in a communitywith various interests within limited financial resources, the principle of practical equalitymust be considered above all else. If the law meets the requirements, if a support policy isprovided, it is determined as a right. If it follows the decision of the administrative agency, asustainable policy will be established in consideration of many situations, not arbitraryadministration, only if it can request the judiciary to judge the legality of the standard. Childbirth support policies can only be effective if they are carried out over a long period oftime. Childbirth and childcare support policies are by no means beneficial, but should beformed as a right that future generations can enjoy confidently. The government and theNational Assembly should ensure that childbirth and childrearing support policies areeffective through accurate judgment, efforts to secure finances, and specific plans andevaluations.
