The South Korean government has announced a strategic initiative to significantly enhance care provisions for individuals with developmental disabilities. By 2030, the state aims to double the availability of daytime programs for adults, while simultaneously increasing 24-hour support options for those requiring the most intensive assistance. This policy shift is designed to alleviate the long-standing caregiving responsibilities currently placed on families. The new framework intends to create a seamless support system that spans from early childhood into adulthood, effectively addressing service gaps as the total number of citizens living with developmental disabilities continues to grow across the country.
