Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation Recruiting Participants for 'Youth Welfare Points' Support Worth 1.2 Million Won

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation will publicly recruit 11,200 participants for the 3rd round of the 'Youth Welfare Points' program, aimed at improving the welfare and treatment of young workers in the province, from the 1st to the 15th of next month.

The Youth Welfare Points program provides welfare points worth 1.2 million KRW annually to young workers aged 18 to 34 residing in Gyeonggi-do, who are employed at small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, or non-profit organizations located in Gyeonggi-do, working at least 36 hours per week, and earning a monthly salary of 2.9 million KRW or less. For those fulfilling military service obligations, the application age limit (up to 39 years old) is extended by the duration of their service. Additionally, participants in the Naeil Chaeum Deduction, Youth Worker Naeil Chaeum Deduction, and Youth Naeil Chaeum Deduction programs are also eligible to apply.

This year, the program targets a total of 30,000 people: 10,000 were recruited in the first round on June, 10,000 in the second round in August, and 11,200 in this third round. Selected participants will receive welfare points worth 1.2 million KRW (300,000 KRW quarterly). However, selected participants must verify their eligibility every three months, including residence, company size, and working hours.

Applications can be submitted through the Youth Worker Support Project website. The province will comprehensively consider factors such as monthly salary, length of employment, and duration of residence in Gyeonggi-do to announce the final selected participants on the 31st of next month.

Since this year, the foundation has applied public MyData services to simplify and facilitate the submission of documents during the application process.

By consenting to the use of public MyData, applicants can apply for the 'Youth Welfare Points' program without submitting documents such as resident registration abstracts, four major social insurance subscription records, or health insurance payment certificates. The foundation expects a reduction in cases of disqualification due to simple mistakes like incomplete document submission.
