[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-seon] Daegu City will recruit 27,537 citizens to participate in the senior job project from the 5th to the 28th of this month.

The senior job and social activity support project aims to provide jobs suitable for each elderly person's occupation to seniors in need of employment, ensuring income security in old age and encouraging active social participation.

Daegu City will invest a budget of 110.7 billion KRW next year to provide jobs for 27,537 seniors, and various projects will be promoted at 41 job institutions including 8 districts and counties in the Daegu area and 8 senior clubs.

The recruitment numbers for next year's senior jobs are 21,495 for public interest-type projects such as Nono Care (elderly care for the elderly), 4,232 for social service-type projects such as childcare facility assistance, 1,211 for market-type projects such as store operation, and 599 for private company employment referral-type projects.

Next year, new projects will increase in social service-type and market-type jobs, offering more services that utilize the participating seniors' experience and activity capabilities.

Seniors wishing to participate can apply online from the 5th to the 28th through the online portals ‘Senior Job Here’ and ‘Bokjiro’.

Applications can also be submitted in person at the senior job departments of districts and counties or senior job implementing institutions. Detailed project information can also be inquired via the senior job consultation hotline.

Participants in the senior job project will receive an activity allowance of 270,000 KRW for public interest-type activities working 30 hours per month (within 3 hours per day), a wage of 710,000 KRW for social service-type jobs working 60 hours per month, and salaries for market-type and employment referral-type projects will be separately determined according to labor contracts.

Participants are selected in order of highest scores based on criteria provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, including income level, activity capability, and experience. Final selection results will be individually notified through the applied institution by January 6 of next year.

Kim Dong-woo, Director of the Welfare Bureau of Daegu City, said, “Senior jobs constitute an important portion of income for participating seniors in their old age and play a socially meaningful role such as improving depression and reducing medical expenses,” adding, “We will continue to actively discover jobs where seniors can work energetically in various fields and do our best to utilize their rich social experience and expertise.”
