[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Sangju City, Gyeongbuk Province, is recruiting participants for the 2022 Senior Job and Social Activity Support Project from the 29th of last month until the 17th of this month.


The Senior Job and Social Activity Support Project is a core initiative implemented to provide income support and promote social participation for the elderly, addressing the rapidly aging population.


It not only supplements income during old age but also increases life satisfaction and improves depression. According to a survey conducted among participants, the city reported high satisfaction levels.


The 2022 project, under the slogan "Found it! Job Youth," plans to carry out activities such as environmental improvement projects, traffic volunteer work in child protection zones, senior lifestyle quarantine, premium food services, community center cleaning projects, and Bukcheon Bridge environmental improvement projects.


Sangju City will recruit 229 people at 24 Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers, 1,642 people at Sangju Senior Club, 587 people at the Korean Senior Citizens Association Sangju Branch, and 150 people at the Sangju Senior Comprehensive Welfare Center.


Applicants must visit the project-performing institution directly to apply, but applications are also possible through the online site "Bokjiro."


The announcement of selected candidates, chosen through the Senior Job Work Support System, will be made simultaneously at City Hall and the three performing institutions in January of the following year, with safety and orientation training provided first for participants.



Mayor Kang Young-seok said, "I hope you participate in the job project and enjoy a healthy and vibrant old age," adding, "Above all, the safety and health of the elderly must come first."
