[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seongap) is supporting life redesign for the 50+ generation (ages 50-64) by placing 50+ peer consultants at the Gwangjin 50+ Center to provide comprehensive counseling services.

The 50+ peer consultants consist of peers who can easily empathize with the 50+ generation and provide counseling and consulting on the seven major life areas that the 50+ generation dreams of for their second act in life: work, finance, social contribution, social relationships, family, leisure, and health.

They also assist with life redesign through personalized counseling and investigate support systems, policies, and suitable jobs for the 50+ generation, guiding them to various support programs.

Counseling with 50+ peer consultants is available to anyone aged 50-64 within the region and can be done through visits or phone consultations at the Gwangjin 50+ Counseling Center. The Gwangjin 50+ Counseling Center is located on the 2nd floor of the Civil Welfare Building at Gwangjin-gu Office and operates weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Since establishing the Gwangjin 50+ Counseling Center last year, the district has been supporting life redesign for the 50+ generation, creating jobs in various fields, and supporting cultural and leisure activities such as club support and volunteer activation.

Additionally, in the second half of the year, they plan to operate a “Visiting 50+ Life Design Counseling Office” that will directly visit community centers, local libraries, and sports centers to provide counseling for the 50+ generation’s second act in life redesign.

Mayor Kim Seongap said, “50+ peer consultants can best understand the concerns of the 50+ generation, share their worries, and conduct effective counseling,” adding, “We will continue to systematically support enhancing the social competitiveness of the 50+ generation and help them thoroughly prepare for their second act in life.”
