[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Namdong-gu, Incheon has opened the second branch of its toy repair center, which is directly operated by the district.

The district announced on the 12th that it has opened the Toy Repair Center Nonhyeon Gojan Branch 2 on the first floor of Nonhyeon Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and has begun full-scale operations.

Started in 2019, the Namdong-gu Toy Repair Center is the nation’s first senior job project directly operated by a local government, and residents with infants and young children can use the service free of charge.

It is characterized by providing quality jobs for seniors, reducing the economic burden on parents with children, and recycling resources that might otherwise be discarded.

Since its opening, the center has received great response from residents, with a total of about 2,930 users visiting and 5,962 repairs completed. In January last year, it expanded and relocated to the second floor of the Namdong-gu Lifelong Learning Center extension building.

Based on the successful operation of the first branch, the district decided to operate the Toy Repair Center Branch 2 in Nonhyeon-dong to improve accessibility and convenience for local residents.

Lee Kang-ho, Mayor of Namdong-gu, said, "We will continue to do our best in administrative and financial support so that various senior jobs can be reflected in the field through job creation and expansion."
