The government will accept a subsidy for youth job search activities for up to six months with a monthly salary of 500,000 won.

It is very helpful for the stable job search of young people, and it is expected that many applicants will come.

On January 18, the Ministry of Employment and Labor said, "We will apply for a job search for young people to ease the difficulties of young people preparing for employment."

A young person who is unemployed between 18 and 34 years of age and who is within two years of graduation or dropout from a school (including graduate school) and whose income is below 120% of standard income can apply.

The standard median income of 120% is 5,353,243 won per month for four people.

Students are not eligible to apply.

Even if you work part-time, you can be classified as unemployed if your working hours are less than 20 hours.

The application for the youth job search support subsidy is accepted at the 'youth youth center' (youthcenter.go.kr).

Applicants must submit a job search plan, graduation certificate, family relationship certificate, etc.

It does not mean that you are eligible for application.

Among the applicants who have graduated or dropped out within two years, they will be awarded a grant to those who have been graduated or dropped out and who have not participated in other government support projects.

The Ministry of Labor is planning to provide 80,000 people with job search support this year.

The budget for this is budgeted at 158.2 billion won.

It is only once in your life that you are eligible for support for youth job search activities.

A young person selected as a support target will receive a "clean card" with points worth 500,000 won per month.

The use of clean cards is limited to the sectors of gambling industry, asset-related industries, and high-priced products, and cash withdrawals are also impossible.

You can not use more than 300,000 yen lump sum.

Applicants must submit a report on their job search every month for the duration of the support period through attendance of videos and participation in preliminary training.

Job seeking activities are widely recognized, including language school classes and group study.

One-on-one in-depth employment counseling is also available if the applicant wishes.

When you receive employment support for young people, you will be suspended for 3 months. If you continue to work for 3 months, you will receive 500,000 won for 'employment success'.

It is a device for promoting employment of a person receiving a youth job search support fund.

The Ministry of Labor has provided support for young people who have been in school for more than two years since the local government has graduated or dropped out so that the subsidies for youth job search activities do not overlap with similar projects of local governments.

The subsidy for youth job search activities is included in the youth employment measures announced by the government in March last year.

While the proportion of youth with higher education in Korea is at the highest level in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and self-directed, they tend to prepare for employment, but this is a measure that reflects the cost and time-consuming employment market conditions.

If a young person fails to get adequate support while he or she is preparing for a job, he can not find a suitable job for his / her aptitude and major, and can afford low-wage jobs. The government has decided to support employment preparation expenses based on self-
