Busan City Hall

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] The 'Youth Fighting 3-Set Project' in Busan, which provides 1 million to 3 million KRW annually per young person, will be advanced and paid starting next month.

Busan City announced on the 24th that, due to the increasing number of young people facing difficulties in job searching amid the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the Busan Youth Fighting 3-Set Project, originally scheduled to be paid from May, will be advanced by one month and paid from April.

This project consists of three youth support programs: ▲ Busan Youth Working Joy Card (1,000 people, 1 million KRW per year) ▲ Didimdol Card+ (2,100 people, 3 million KRW per year) ▲ Youth Monthly Rent (3,000 people, 1 million KRW per year).

The support targets are young people aged 18 to 34 residing in Busan City. Different selection criteria such as income standards, employment status, and graduation status apply depending on the program.

This year, the number of support recipients has been greatly expanded from 1,600 last year to 6,100. The income criteria for the Didimdol Card+ have also been relaxed from 120% of the median income last year to 150% or less.
