Senior Citizens Make Taxes "Three-Taxed Landlords Work"

A children's park located in Jung-gu, Seoul at 3 pm on the 6th. Two people in their 60's wearing fluorescent safety vests that read "Seoul Regional Police Agency School Assistant" were quietly sitting on the bench. They often looked at cell phones or stared in the air. A, who met with the reporter (anonymous at the request of the party), said, "We started because we could get about 400,000 won if we worked for full time." "If there is a student who assaults or smokes, he returns home." He said. But in the park, only a few office workers came to drink coffee, but the students did not appear. One of them seemed uncomfortable, limping his legs.

 

As such, various kinds of "financial jobs" budgets generated by taxes are increasing rapidly. It is pointed out that there are not many overlapping and similar projects and the effectiveness is low because the government executes the finances mainly on 'short-term prescription'.

 

According to the report of the National Assembly Budget Office's "2020 Budget Analysis" report and Choo Kyung-ho Liberal Party's office on December 12, the job budget reflected in next year's budget is 25.7697 billion won (based on this budget). In 2017, the 8.1% increase from the previous year increased to 10% last year and this year for two consecutive years and increased by 21.3% next year. This is the highest growth rate among all financially funded job projects.

 

In addition to financial job projects like senior jobs, the inclusion of "social service jobs" such as caring, safety, and special education is even larger. The National Assembly Budget Office pointed out that "the amount of money required for social service jobs is not known."

 

Increasing jobs with taxes are positive in that it can prepare for the worsening of employment and support the vulnerable. The question is whether it is used where it is needed. In the case of the elderly jobs that the government overlooked to improve the job index, the old-age-ready old people should make money, but there is not much that they can do for livelihood jobs. It is questioning whether the quality of employment, as well as sustainability, is being increased because it is to increase the jobs that are like 'work distance'.

 

Yoo Kyung-jun (former chief of statistics) Professor of the Korea University of Technology and Education said, "There should be a policy design that spends money but spends effectively, not criticizing the expansion of finance itself."

 

On the 6th at 9 pm in Seoul, a group of 60-70s with fluorescent vests and red light rods gathered at the entrance of a palace in Seoul. Some people listened to music while wearing earphones. They work to guide tourists visiting the night opening. Mr. B introduced himself to retirement after going to a large company for 30 years. "I still work part-time as a part-time consultant," he said. "I want to give my grandchildren pocket money. Mr. C said, "Some of our colleagues are building owners who are rented from the villa on the third floor outside Seoul."

 

Elderly jobs are not demanding. If you are a basic pensioner aged 65 or older and do not have to participate in the government's ongoing job project, you may need to overlap. Depending on the type of business, you can be over 60 years old. This means that senior citizens can participate if their income recognition amount (income + income equivalent) does not exceed 2.19 million won for married couples (1,370,000 won for single households). An official from the Korea Human Resource Development Institute, one of the organizations applying for senior jobs, said, "If you receive the basic pension received by the bottom 70 of 100 elderly people, you will be deemed to be in need because of insufficient income."

 

Professor Yu Kyung-Joon advised, "We should spend money on steady and long-term results rather than sticking to the short-term results of supporting the number of employees."

 

When looking at the budget for next year's financial jobs, direct jobs (11.3%) and employment incentives (21.3%) can raise employment indicators in the short term rather than indirect support for self-development such as job training (8.9%) and start-up support (9.2%). ) The share of the same direct support is more than doubled. The share of indirect support is lower than this year, and the share of direct support is higher. Even if nominal indicators such as the increase in employment are improved, this is the background of criticism that the quality of employment is deteriorating due to the surge in irregular workers.

 

In many cases, new policies overlap with existing projects. The Ministry of Health and Welfare introduces a youth savings account that provides cash to help low-income young people become self-reliant next year. It is a project that the government supports 300,000 won per 100,000 won of savings and is targeted to those who are receiving basic living security and education benefits for the age of 15-39 and young people of the next level. This is similar to those of local governments such as Seoul (Double Hope Youth Bank), Jeonnam (Youth Hope Stepping Stone Bank), and Gwangju (Youth Emergency Bank Account).

 

The Ministry of Employment and Labor's New Middle Age Social Contribution Activity Support Project will be overlapped with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Senior Citizens' Social Service Type, and the work and family environment improvement support project will be overlapped with the support project for shortening working hours. Has been pointed out. Also, the ministry said that the industrial prevention facility loan, ICT-based social problem-solving technology development, and maternity-friendly agricultural product support would be likely to overlap with existing projects.

 

The politicians have been bitterly concerned about the general budget for general elections when the cash support project budget exceeds 50 trillion won in next year's budget. According to the results of the analysis by a senior expert member of the preliminary committee, the creditor's budget for next year was 54.301.7 billion won, an increase of 12.5% ​​from the previous year (48.2762 billion won). This is larger than the overall government budget growth of 9.3%. Representative Shin said the new budget has surged 50.6% in just three years.

 

Cash support budgeting projects include basic pension benefits, livelihood benefits, child allowances, job search benefits, youth tomorrow job deductions, and young farmers' settlement funds. Next year's cash grant, including the budget for providing vouchers for the use of certain goods or services in education, housing, and health care, amounted to 63.79 trillion won.

 

Experts advise that there should be a clear line between fiscal policy and financial addiction to respond to the economy. Lee In-sil (Professor Sogang University Graduate School of Economics), Korea's largest academic society, said, "We agree on the role of finance, but we must do it while preparing a way to control the spread of cash-distributing fiscal spending among ministries and local governments." did. "In the past, the government has managed to increase the national debt ratio in the early stages of trade, but it has managed to lower the ratio in the latter half of the period. According to this national financial management plan, this practice has broken down this practice and has increased every year." "There is a big concern that it can lead to financial populism, in that it focuses on the expansion of the finances rather than correcting them. "

 

The bigger worry is financial resources. Next year's budget is characterized by a large size, with 47 percent of the budget raised in the health, welfare and labor sectors. Once increased, it is a rigid budget that is hard to reduce.

 

Kim Tae-gi, a professor of economics at Dankook University, who was chairman of the Korean Labor Economics Association, said, "Scattering money indiscriminately without distinguishing those who need support from those who do not need will not only spread the financial populism but also make the economy inefficient." "It's more important than ever to deliberate budgeting in Congress to improve the efficiency of finances and well-being and to reduce the economic burden of future generations," he said.
