[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will provide employment incentive payments to unemployed youth who are having difficulty finding jobs due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic from May 3 to June 4.

This support fund was established to promote job seeking among job seekers facing difficulties such as job reductions and hiring freezes caused by COVID-19, and to help stabilize their livelihoods.

Applicants must be youth aged 19 to 34 residing in Geumcheon-gu according to their resident registration, who have not passed more than two years since their final education (dropout, dismissal, completion, graduation), and are unemployed without employment insurance.

Even if enrolled in employment insurance, those working less than 26 hours per week or short-term workers employed for less than three months are eligible to apply. However, university (graduate school) students, students on leave, unemployment benefit recipients, and participants in the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s 2020 Youth Job-Seeking Activity Support Fund (2021 National Employment Support System Type 1) are excluded from support.

Those wishing to apply can do so online via the Seoul Youth Portal website from May 3 to June 4.

Required documents include a resident registration certificate or abstract, employment insurance qualification history, and final education graduation certificate (or completion certificate). Short-term workers must additionally submit a labor contract.

Selected applicants will receive 500,000 KRW worth of Geumcheon G-Valley Love Gift Certificates (Zero Pay) sequentially per person.

Detailed eligibility requirements and application methods can be found on the Geumcheon-gu website and the Seoul Youth Portal.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Although many young people are struggling to find jobs due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, I hope this support will help their job-seeking activities even a little. We will continue to implement various policies that local youth can relate to and feel.”
