The so-called ‘1,000 Won Table’, which started in college districts, is gaining explosive popularity and is spreading throughout society.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs increased this year’s ‘1,000 won breakfast’ support project from 690,000 to 1.5 million, and Jeollanam-do is considering establishing a breakfast support center for non-regular workers in Yeosu industrial complexes.
A 1,000-won table that extends the range of benefits beyond college to children and ordinary citizens.
Attention is focusing on whether it can establish itself as a new welfare model in the era of high prices.
