Step 3 A service that organizes childbirth and parenting programs and benefits from the grandparent's perspective

Problem

Expectant grandparents aged 55-65 want to support their children emotionally and financially when a grandchild arrives, but childbirth and parenting support programs are changing rapidly (2024-2026 parental benefits increases, expanded childcare services, growing number of municipalities introducing grandparent caregiving allowances). They can't relay accurate information to their children. In particular, many grandparents miss out on benefits they can personally apply for (e.g., Seoul's grandparent caregiving allowance, reduced work hours for grandchild care), losing $370-$1,500 (500,000-2,000,000 won) per year in unclaimed benefits by municipality.

Solution

Users enter their residential area and their child's expected due date, and the service displays a timeline of support programs from the grandparent's perspective: pre-birth (accompanying health checkups, postpartum care center info), post-birth (grandparent caregiving allowance application, childcare service registration), and infant stage (grandchild medical expense tax deduction conditions). It generates a 'Grandparent Checklist' shareable with their children via KakaoTalk.

Target: Ages 55-65, expectant or current grandparents whose children are expecting or raising infants/toddlers, residing in major cities like Seoul or Gyeonggi Province
Revenue Model: Free web service. Affiliate commissions for connecting users with local postpartum care centers and childcare service providers. Premium ($7.40/year, 9,900 won) for real-time benefit change notifications.
