[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, will recruit 400 applicants who wish to participate in the public work project for the first half of next year from the 15th to the 19th of this month.
Seongnam City has extended the period of the public work project, which was conducted in 4-month units, to 6-month units starting this year to support vulnerable job seekers who have difficulty finding employment due to COVID-19.
Participants in the public work project will work in 71 project fields such as quarantine tasks, environmental cleanup, service support, and safety management from January 3 to June 30 next year.
Those aged 18 to 64 will work 5 hours a day (25 hours a week) and receive a daily wage of 45,800 KRW. Those aged 65 and older will work 3 hours a day (15 hours a week) and receive a daily wage of 27,480 KRW.
The amount is based on the next year's minimum wage (9,160 KRW) announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and a daily allowance of 5,000 KRW for incidental expenses (transportation and snacks) is paid to all participants.
All participants are required to enroll in the four major social insurances. However, those aged 60 and over are exempt from the National Pension.
Eligibility requires being a Seongnam citizen aged 18 or older with work ability, unemployed or without regular income as of the project start date, with household income below 65% of the median income (120% for single-person households), and assets under 300 million KRW.
Applicants can visit their local administrative welfare center with an ID card during the application period to fill out and submit the application form.
