Hwaseong-si Promotes Middle-Aged Support Projects for Baby Boomer Generation

The 1st Middle-Aged Support Committee Meeting Held
Review of Educational Program Subcontractors

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province is promoting projects for the successful retirement life of the Baby Boomer generation.

On the 14th, Hwaseong City announced on the 15th that it held the '2024 1st Middle-aged Support Committee' meeting to support the Baby Boomer generation at the Hwaseong City Workers' Welfare Center.

Previously, Hwaseong City enacted the 'Ordinance on Support for Middle-aged' in August last year to support the Baby Boomer generation and established the 'Middle-aged Support Committee' in October of the same year.

At the meeting, the middle-aged support plan, which oversees the middle-aged policies of each department in Hwaseong City this year, was reviewed and approved.

In addition, the selection review for the subcontractor of this year's middle-aged education program operation support project was conducted. The middle-aged education program support project is fully funded by the city and provides education and counseling programs related to acquiring certifications for preparing for a new life before and after retirement and leading a successful retirement life for the middle-aged group. Based on the committee's review results, the city plans to finalize the selection of the subcontractor after the local subsidy review committee meeting scheduled for next month.

Ji Hyun, head of the Middle-aged and Senior Welfare Division of Hwaseong City, said, "We will strengthen policies for the middle-aged approaching retirement through the committee in the future."

Meanwhile, as of the end of last year, the middle-aged population aged 50 to under 65 in Hwaseong City was 191,809, accounting for about 20% of the total population.
