[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, has embarked on creating an environment for the New Silver Generation.

On the 12th, Jinju City held an interim report meeting for the ‘Study on Establishing Settlement Measures for the New Silver Generation in Jinju City’ at the city hall situation room.

The meeting was attended by Jinju Mayor Jo Gyu-il, Vice Mayor Jeong Jun-seok, heads of departments and offices, and representatives from the Korea Knowledge Industry Research Institute. The agenda included progress reports on the study, local conditions and policy directions, opinions from related departments, and a Q&A session.

The New Silver Generation refers to an active elderly group who continue to engage in vigorous activities and exert social and economic influence even after retirement.

Through this study, the city aims to explore multifaceted policies such as jobs, housing, culture, and leisure facilities to support their settlement and regional influx, and to establish a unique New Silver Generation concept and promotion strategy for Jinju City.

At this interim report meeting, based on domestic and international policy and data analysis as well as surveys analyzing the awareness and demands of Jinju citizens, four promotion strategies were set: ▲ customized job support tailored to the generation ▲ creation of New Silver residential complex and environmental improvement ▲ mental and physical health medical welfare support ▲ expansion of community-based social activities. Along with these, 24 implementation projects and promotion directions were reported.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il stated, “Along with welfare support for the existing Silver Generation, we will enhance the attractiveness of the city of Jinju by creating an environment and providing services that meet the needs of the New Silver Generation, thereby expanding population influx and settlement in our city.”
