Asked whether we should go further and recognize diverse family forms, granting people the right to build relationships with whomever they choose and however they choose, Minister of Gender Equality and Family Chung Young-ai responded, “There could be social demand for a system like France's PACS (Pacte Civil de Solidarité, which guarantees rights for cohabiting households). Such a system might be created faster than the government expects. Right now, though, implementing something like that would require too big a leap. Before household communities and similar arrangements can be brought into the scope of new policy, we still need more discussion — what forms of community should be included as support recipients, what kind of policy support should be provided, and how much funding that would require.” Society advances, little by little.
