Short-Term Perceived Outcomes and Economic Effects of the Children’s Health Experience Activity Support in Jeju

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of the Jeju Children's Health Experience Activity Support Project, which was first implemented in 2023, on the promotion of children's physical and mental health and the economic effects of the policy. To this end, the satisfaction level of this project was investigated based on a survey of supported families and Tamnaeun Jeon approval data, and the economic effects were analyzed using the regional industry linkage analysis method. As a result of the analysis, the children’s health experience activity support project was found to be highly effective in terms of the effect of promoting children’s health, satisfaction, and convenience of use, and there was a significant difference between urban and rural areas in terms of suitability and accessibility of use. In addition, the regional economic effect based on the regional industry linkage analysis method showed that the payment of the Children's Health Experience Activity Support System resulted in a net increase in expenditure equivalent to 79.2% of the subsidy, resulting in a regional production induction effect of KRW 2.46 billion, a regional added value induction effect of KRW 1.374 billion, and a regional employment induction effect of 27.8 people. This suggests that the Children's Health Experience Activity Support System is worth continuing to expand and promote.
