Recruitment of Participants for the 'Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Support Project' in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 1st that it will recruit participants for the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Support Project, which provides allowances for citizens' valuable social contribution activities, on the 4th and 5th.

The projects to be promoted this year were decided through a demand survey targeting all departments in January and a citizen preference survey, followed by a review by the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Committee.

Focusing on three directions: "Creating happiness in the With-Corona era (Recovery)," "Building a village where everyone lives together (Coexistence)," and "Community revitalization through voluntary participation (Participation)," a total of 95 people will be recruited to participate in six projects including infant playground activity managers and village recorders.

Participants will engage in activities for up to about 13 hours per week and receive a certain amount of Gwangsan Citizen Allowance (participation income).

The allowance will be paid based on the 2022 Gwangsan-gu living wage (10,920 KRW per hour). (Monthly cap per person: 583,444 KRW)

Unlike public jobs that prioritize low-income groups, the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance Support Project plans to select participants based on experience and qualifications.

Detailed eligibility requirements and selection criteria can be found on the Gwangsan-gu website.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, "Through the Gwangsan Citizen Allowance, an innovative social participation job, we will guarantee citizens' right to work and activate participation in social activities," and added, "We hope for much interest and participation from citizens."
