[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 26th that it will recruit participants for the ‘2020 Middle-aged Social Contribution Activity Support Project’ targeting retired professionals aged 50 to under 70 until the 6th of next month.

This project is designed to promote mutual development through matching between retired professionals aged 50 and above with expertise and institutions such as social enterprises and non-profit organizations that require professional personnel.

For retired professionals in specialized fields, there is an advantage of securing jobs by utilizing their talents, and public institutions can create conditions to expand social services for public benefit.

The participation criteria are unemployed individuals aged 50 to under 70 from this year, who have more than 3 years of experience related to the tasks to be performed or have obtained official qualifications such as national or private certificates.

Selected participants will receive 9,000 KRW per day, including meal and transportation expenses, when participating in social contribution activities for more than 4 hours a day, and an hourly participation allowance of 2,000 KRW will be paid to encourage participation in social contribution activities.

The recognized social contribution activity time is up to 8 hours per day, with a basic activity time limit of up to 120 hours per month and a maximum of 480 hours per year per participant.

A Nam-gu official said, “Although the number of retired middle-aged professionals with expertise is increasing every year, social enterprises and non-profit organizations are experiencing a shortage of professional personnel,” adding, “We will work to solve the problems of providing new jobs and the shortage of professional personnel in public institutions through this project.”
