Bucheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will implement the 'Hope Bucheon 4500!' project from the 5th of next month until November to overcome the economic crisis caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and provide public jobs to vulnerable groups.

The city selected 4,500 people from 5,329 applicants across various fields, including employment-vulnerable groups, those who lost jobs or closed businesses due to COVID-19, and youth.

They will be assigned to departments carrying out 480 projects and will work under five major slogans: ▲ Making Bucheon Safe (promoting daily quarantine) ▲ Making Bucheon a Place to Start a Business ▲ Making Bucheon Clean and Green ▲ Making Bucheon Happy for Youth ▲ Making Bucheon Special.

Participants in the project will receive an hourly wage of 8,590 KRW, weekly and annual leave allowances, and enrollment in the four major social insurances. Working hours are 20 to 40 hours per week for those under 65 years old, and 15 hours per week for those 65 and older.

After the project ends, Bucheon City plans to provide participants with opportunities to join job fairs and employment referral programs to connect them with private-sector jobs suitable for their individual capabilities.
