The public work project aims to provide temporary jobs to vulnerable groups in the job market, such as young people, women, and middle-aged individuals, and to offer long-term unemployed people a stepping stone to re-employment.

The work areas are divided into three categories-public service, computerization, and environmental maintenance-encompassing a total of 147 projects.

Eligibility requirements include: being at least 18 years old as of the project start date; having a household income at or below 70% of the median income; and having assets of 400 million won or less. Applicants must be residents of Paju City, but registered foreign nationals in Paju are also eligible to apply.

Those wishing to participate must visit their local administrative welfare center during the application period to submit an application form and required documents. The selection results will be individually notified at the end of December.

Selected participants will work from January 5 to April 24 next year. The main working conditions include an hourly wage of 12,070 won, enrollment in four major types of social insurance, and provision of weekly holiday allowances and paid annual leave.

Lee Igoo, Head of the Livelihood Economy Division, stated, "Next year's public work positions are intended to help revitalize the local economy by selecting as many participants as possible, taking into account the recent challenging economic situation."
