[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeollabuk-do announced that it has formed the 'Metropolitan Old-age Preparation Council' consisting of 19 institutions across 4 major sectors and held its first meeting on the 25th.

The Jeollabuk-do Metropolitan Old-age Preparation Council was established to support individuals in preparing for old age by providing awareness improvement services and more, following the revision of the 'Old-age Preparation Support Act' in December 2021.

The council is composed of 19 specialized institutions across 4 major sectors (financial, health, leisure, interpersonal relationships) to provide substantial service support.

Going forward, the council plans to support practical old-age preparation for residents through discussions on cooperation measures among related organizations.

At the first meeting, explanations were given on the reorganization of the old-age preparation delivery system and the main roles of the Old-age Preparation Council, along with discussions on the projects and operational directions of the Jeollabuk-do Metropolitan Old-age Preparation Support Center, which will begin operations on June 22.

Meanwhile, Jeollabuk-do plans to designate the Jeonju-Wanju branch of the National Pension Service as the Metropolitan Old-age Preparation Support Center. Through the center, basic, specialized, and in-depth counseling programs on old-age preparation will be provided to residents. Additionally, 26 educational courses necessary for old age, such as financial and health management, will be developed and operated. The center also plans to develop and operate specialized programs unique to the Jeollabuk region, such as outreach old-age preparation services and the Old-age Preparation Academy.
