Opportunity Income of Dongyeon Kim. For those who create social value…Income preservation for a certain period of time

Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi-do said, “Opportunity income is limited to those who create value, and the recipient and period are limited, such as payment for a certain period of time.” It is defined as “preserving income”.

In a recent Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly question, Governor Kim explained the difference in this way according to the query that lawmakers “cannot understand the difference between basic income and opportunity income, and the concept is ambiguous and unclear,” and explained the differences with examples.

First of all, he said about basic income, “Basic income is based on the premise that a world will come where many people will not have to work due to the development of industry and technology, so it is a thing in the distant future, but it is worth examining from now on.” said.

In particular, “Basic Income has universality, unconditionality, and regularity because it is given to anyone unconditionally and steadily, and these three conditions are agreed upon by all scholars,” he said. It may be added,” he said.

In addition, “In fact, strictly speaking, out of former Governor Lee Jae-myeong’s basic income (basic income for youth, basic income for farmers, basic income for rural areas), meeting the conditions for true basic income is for all residents of Cheongsan-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun, with conditions and restrictions due to financial problems. It is only rural basic income that is given,” he said cutly.

At the same time, Governor Kim emphasized that “opportunity income has a completely different value and philosophy from basic income.”

He continued, “Unlike these characteristics of basic income, opportunity income is limited to those who create value and is limited in scope and period, such as payment for a certain period of time. ” he declared.

Above all, he emphasized that “opportunity income is a concept that adds social and economic value and utility to basic income.”

Giving an example, Governor Kim said, “Opportunity income for artists is for artists who do not earn enough income compared to creating social value through art.” We plan to limit it to 3 to 5 years,” he added.

In addition, Governor Kim added, “All of Korea’s modern teenage artists were eligible for livelihood protection,” adding, “The reason why artists were first selected as recipients of opportunity income is because we believe in the great potential of artists, as seen in K-culture.”

Governor Kim also said, “The opportunity income for people with severe disabilities with 120% of the median income is to wear a smart watch and do physical activity at least twice a week for at least 1 hour.” The goal is to reduce social costs,” he said in detail to help people understand.

Governor Kim also expressed his views on the youth basic income currently being implemented.

He suggested a change in policy, saying, “Significant resources are going into basic income for young people,” and “10 to 100 times more money is going in than the opportunity income for artists or the opportunity income for the disabled.”

“We will review in the mid- to long-term how to give young people opportunities to create value and use those opportunities to create jobs and develop themselves,” he said. I’ll try to find out,” he added.

Lastly, Governor Kim said, “It is difficult to create a new policy, but it is not easy to get rid of it because of the consistency of the policy.”
