The plan is to be implemented from 2021 to 2023. The policy projects for older adults in Goseong-gun will be expanded from 29 projects in 2020 to 36 projects in 2021.

As the ageing society progresses, it is necessary to cope with various areas such as health and medical support, economic and social participation, activity and safety in the outdoor spaces. It is important to see ageing as an opportunity rather than a problem.
