		<description><![CDATA[The NPS - National Pension Scheme]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">National Pension Scheme (국민연금)</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gwangjuguide.or.kr/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/top_img_6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1949" title="top_img_6" src="http://www.gwangjuguide.or.kr/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/top_img_6.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="188" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The National Pension Scheme is a social security system implemented by the government to contribute to people&#8217;s stable life by determining contributions and paying pension benefits for the insured people or their dependents to prepare for retirement or unexpected risks such as disability and death.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Foreigners who are aged between 18 and 60 and who are residing and working in Korea, regardless of their nationality, should be covered under the NPS. Foreigners whose countries do not cover Korean nationals, however, are excluded from the coverage of NPS.(Article 126 of the National Pension Act)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the above provisions, if there are relevant provisions under the Social Security Agreement between Korea and any foreign countries, those provisions will be applied. (Article 127 of the National Pension Act)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If foreign insured persons are entitled to Old-age, Disability, or Survivor Pension, they will receive the same pension benefits as Koreans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Old-age Pension: </strong>The Old-age Pension is paid monthly to those whose insured period is more than or equal to 10 years and aged over 60 for the rest of their lives. The pensionable age will increase by 1 year every five years starting from 2013 until it reaches 65 in 2033.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Disability Pension:</strong> The Disability Pension is paid to those with disability after treatment of diseases or injuries incurred during the insured period according to the degree of disability. Annuities will be paid to those with 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree disabilities and lump-sum benefits will be paid to those with 4th degree disabilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Survivor Pension:</strong> If currently insured persons or pensioners are deceased, the Survivor Pension will be paid every month to their surviving dependents whose livelihood was supported by the deceased person.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For Workplace based Insured Persons, the insured persons and their employers should each make contributions amounting to 4.5% of the standard monthly income based on their earned income (for the employer of a non-corporate workplace, based on income gained from wholesale, retail, manufacturing and other businesses).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Individually Insured Persons should make contributions amounting to 9% of the standard monthly income based on the income that they report.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">※ There is no discrimination in terms of the contributions rate between foreigners and Koreans. The payment should be made no later than the 10<sup>th</sup> day of the following month. If the 10<sup>th</sup> day is a holiday or Saturday, however, the deadline will be extended automatically to the following business day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The standard monthly income is different from the actual earnings received by the insured person in any given month and is calculated by dividing the insured person’s total annual income from the previous calendar year by 365 (total days in a year), and then multiplying that number by 30 (days in a month). The resulting figure is the standard monthly income (non-taxable income is excluded from the calculation of real monthly income). The insured person’s standard monthly income is applied from July of any one year through June of the following year, regardless of any changes in the insured person’s real monthly earnings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those individuals who have yet to work a full calendar year in Korea, their standard monthly income, till June of the following year will be almost equal to their earnings in the first calendar month of their employment in Korea. At June of the following year, their standard monthly income will be re-calculated by dividing their total income received in that year by the total number of calendar days in the period of their employment. As above, this will be applied from July of that year through June of the following year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Upon completing a full calendar year of employment, the insured person’s standard monthly income will be recalculated accordingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the case of foreigners falling under any of the following conditions, a lump-sum refund will be paid.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>In cases where a foreigner whose home country grants Koreans a benefit corresponding to a lump-sum refund under the National Pension Scheme. Under this rule, only the nationals from the following 31 countries may receive the Korean lump-sum refund. Please refer to Article 126 of the National Pension Act and Article 113 of the Enforcement Decree of the National Pension Act.</li>
<li>In cases where a foreigner whose home country has concluded a social security agreement with Korea regarding the payment of the lump-sum refund.</li>
<li>Regardless of nationality, in cases where a foreigner, who has been covered under the national pension scheme with a stay visa of E-8 (Employment for Training), E-9 (Non-professional Employment), or H-2 (Visiting Employment) returns to his/her home country.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>Advice for camping:</strong></span></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Make sure you use a tent that is able to be enough to be a &#8216;living room&#8217;, sleeping area, and a cookery. Check whether the tent has all the equipment to set it up. Also make sure that you bring rope long enough to tie up the spikes.</li>
<li>While camping during wintertime, you should have enough warmth as it will get very chilly in the morning. Different kinds of sleeping bag can provide you with some warmth, such as the sarcophagus, rectangle, electric, or the cold-proof kind.</li>
<li>For chilly weather, bring a mat to cover the floor as well to prevent insects.</li>
<li>Those who want to do some backpacking to the mountains, make sure you bring a light yet small backpack to bring your necessities for your convenience.</li>
<li>It is recommended to bring a gas lantern because it is the brightest, make least noise and can be used in all seasons.</li>
<li>To cook or grill outdoors is one of the main attraction of camping, thus it is recommended to have &#8217;slow-cook food&#8217; such as BBQ or stew. Make sure that you clean everything when you left and take all the garbage with you. It is also good to bring instant food because items sold in the supermarket nearby can be expensive.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Do not use charcoal burner inside the tent because it easily creates smoke. Electric heater is recommended.</li>
</ol>
