[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is recruiting 182 participants for the ‘2021 Senior Job Project’ until the 15th of this month.

This job support project was prepared to provide seniors with income generation and opportunities for social activities.

Eligible participants are seniors aged 65 or older residing in Nowon-gu, and for some projects such as public administrative support, those aged 60 or older can also participate.

However, recipients of livelihood benefits under the National Basic Livelihood Security Act, workplace subscribers to National Health Insurance, those rated under Long-term Care Insurance (grades 1 to 5, cognitive support grade), and seniors participating in job projects promoted by government ministries or local governments are excluded.

The working period is a total of 10 months. The wage is 9,000 KRW per hour, with a minimum of 15 hours per week, and weekly holiday pay and annual leave pay are paid separately. Work duties include assisting workers at child and elderly facilities and environmental maintenance.

Those wishing to participate can visit the application institutions and submit an application form by the 15th. Bringing an ID card and resident registration certificate is mandatory when applying.

Online applications are also possible through the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Bokjiro website. However, even for online applications, qualification-related documents must be submitted in person at the respective application institution.

There are three application institutions: ▲ Nowon 1st Comprehensive Social Welfare Center (Wolgye 2-dong) ▲ Northern Comprehensive Social Welfare Center (Sanggye 1-dong) ▲ Nowon Senior Club (Sanggye 1-dong). Eligible participants will be selected independently by each institution by the end of January.

The district has actively led senior job creation projects so far. In May 2019, it was the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts to establish the ‘Nowon Senior Job Support Center’ to promote job development, training, and placement projects, and in July of the same year, it opened the dedicated senior job institution ‘Nowon Senior Club’ to begin full-scale job development.

In particular, this year, the district is preparing to launch the senior employment company ‘Nowon Senior Happiness Corporation,’ which it invested in and established.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “As we enter an aging society, the demand for senior jobs is rapidly increasing,” and added, “We will continue to actively support seniors’ income generation and social activities by providing customized jobs.”
