Happiness UP with Women's Career Continuity! ... Pohang City, Women's Time-Selective Job Launch Ceremony

Ai Haengbok Doumi and Mom Chamson Dan Attendance Launch Ceremony

Providing Participation Opportunities and Job Discovery for Career-Interrupted Women

On the 9th, Pohang City held the '2023 Women’s Time-Selective Job Launch Ceremony' at the City Hall Daejam Hall.

At the '2023 Women’s Time-Selective Job Launch Ceremony' held on the 9th at the Daejam Hall of Pohang City Hall, attendees including Vice Mayor Kim Nam-il and City Council Chairman Baek In-gyu are performing a ceremony.

At the launch ceremony, about 600 participants of women’s time-selective jobs, including Ai Haengbok Doumi and Mom Chamson Dan, attended and took time to learn about work posture and precautions through worker safety education.

Ai Haengbok Doumi and Mom Chamson Dan are women’s time-selective jobs actively promoted by Pohang City, which have been well received by local women hoping for a balance between work and life, and have been implemented for nine years since 2015.

This year, Ai Haengbok Doumi will participate in the project from February to December, and Mom Chamson Dan from March to November.

Job participants work for four hours a day at daycare centers, kindergartens, local children’s centers, social welfare facilities, public institutions, etc., performing tasks such as health and hygiene management, care assistance, meal assistance, environmental maintenance, and other work support.

Women’s time-selective jobs provide opportunities for local women who face many conflicts between childcare and social participation activities amid the serious low birthrate issue, and also play a significant role in revitalizing the local economy by supporting low-income households.

Deputy Mayor Kim Nam-il said, “I hope that women who have experienced career interruptions will find new dreams and confidently demonstrate their abilities in society through women’s time-selective jobs,” adding, “We will continue to discover quality women’s jobs that allow work-family balance and create a happy future for women in Pohang.”

Pohang City is focusing on creating a women-friendly city by supporting the operation of the Pohang Women’s New Work Center for women with career interruptions and promoting the Workplace Mom SOS service project, an emergency child protection worker dispatch service.
