[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 3rd that it will promote the ‘Daejeon-type New Public Job Project’ this year.

The project will be carried out with a total of 67 projects, including 53 new projects discovered in the second half of last year and 14 ongoing projects, and the city expects that 1,773 jobs will be created through this.

A total budget of 31.3 billion KRW will be invested in the project. By sector, ▲ Digital sector 1.7 billion KRW (10 projects, recruiting 113 people) ▲ Care system sector 6.4 billion KRW (10 projects, recruiting 473 people) ▲ Healthy community sector 23.3 billion KRW (47 projects, recruiting 1,187 people) will be invested respectively.

By target group, the job share is highest for the middle-aged at 70.28%, followed by youth at 22.84%, women at 4.17%, and the elderly at 2.71%.

The city plans to bear the entire budget for projects discovered and confirmed in collaboration with autonomous districts, and to bear 90% to 95% of the budget for projects by each autonomous district.

The Daejeon-type New Public Job Project prioritizes selecting fields with public interest, social problem-solving, and high citizen perception, differentiating from existing public work projects.

Also, it is a project that lasts stably for at least six months or more, excluding projects that overlap with existing jobs, simple COVID-19 quarantine, or auxiliary personnel input projects.

Meanwhile, the city has requested cooperation from each institution to apply this year’s living wage of 10,460 KRW in the Daejeon-type New Public Job Project. The living wage is 1,300 KRW higher than this year’s minimum wage of 9,160 KRW.

Since the timing and duration of this year’s projects vary, detailed information should be confirmed through the departments responsible for implementing the respective projects.
