Gwangju Buk-gu, Comprehensive Survey of Elderly Paper Collectors

Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will conduct a 'Living Condition Census' targeting elderly people (65 years and older) who collect waste paper and reside in the district until next month.

The district plans to identify the status of elderly individuals who are trading with waste disposal companies and then visit each household to closely check income levels, physical and mental health conditions, and more.

Based on the survey results, support will be provided for three types of elderly jobs: ▲public interest activity type ▲social service type ▲resource recycling market type, along with various customized community care services.

The data will be registered in the social welfare computer system, Haengbok e-Eum, to be used as basic data for elderly waste paper collectors, and the local government will continuously manage households identified as being in crisis.
