Furthermore, the Government should find out a way to give a financial support to a child welfare facility to which a migrant victim of child abuse is admitted so that an adequate cost may be covered by the financial support. Issue 34. Migrant children under 6 years of age – in relation to para. 9 (a) of the List of Issues 124. With the revision of the Child Care Act in 2013, the childcare fee subsidy whose availability was previously limited to children in low-income families, children with disabilities and children in multicultural families has been greatly expanded to include all pre-school children under 6 years of age, regardless of their family income, and the subsidy may take the form of the childcare fee subsidy for children who attend a day care center or the childcare allowance for children who are in family-based care. 125.

In particular, it can be said that the childcare fee subsidy is one of the factors that are most closely related to the safe and healthy growth of children under 6 years of age. In May 2019, the NHRCK recommended the Minister of Health and Welfare to specify the relevant obligations of the national and local governments and the provisions concerning the implementation of those obligations which are prescribed in the CRC, in the Child Care Act; to revise the relevant legislation and upgrade the relevant guidelines in order to ensure that the childcare-related rights are guaranteed for all children under 6 years of age, including migrant children, in this country; and to take positive actions to increase public awareness that migrant 31
