No More Rushing to Pick Up Kids? Taipei Launches Parental Working Hour Subsidy

The city government referenced the experience of Gwangju, South Korea, and adjusted it to fit Taipei’s current situation, hoping to allow parents to flexibly choose their work hours and reduce the pressure of picking up or dropping off their children.
