Gwangju Buk-gu Launches Full-Scale Implementation of Comprehensive Financial and Employment Welfare Plan

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 27th that it will actively promote the '2020 Comprehensive Financial and Employment Welfare Plan.'

This comprehensive plan was prepared to support credit recovery and self-reliance for financially vulnerable groups in line with the government's inclusive finance policy and to establish a solid safety net for low-income financial services.

Accordingly, starting next month, Buk-gu will focus on implementing 14 tasks in three major areas: ▲financial welfare support ▲field-oriented employment welfare linkage services ▲customized self-support for demanders.

First, by actively promoting the low-income financial support system and the Buk Gwangju Low-Income Financial Integrated Support Center, the district aims to raise awareness of low-income finance, improve financial accessibility, and strengthen residents' financial capabilities through low-income financial supporters, visiting financial counseling offices, and customized financial education for residents.

In addition, Buk-gu Employment Support Center will operate to provide employment counseling and placement services for job seekers and employers, and together with participating organizations of the Gwangju Employment Welfare Plus Center, will offer integrated services linking finance, employment, and welfare.

Furthermore, customized self-support projects aimed at exiting welfare benefits will be promoted, including the Employment Success Package, which proceeds in three stages?employment path setting, vocational training, and job placement?for basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty groups, as well as programs to improve employment capabilities for conditional recipients.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “The Comprehensive Financial and Employment Welfare Plan was prepared to help stabilize the financial lives and economic independence of vulnerable groups,” and added, “We will continue to practice demand-centered financial welfare for residents who face difficulties in using financial services.”
