Part Time Work for Seniors

I will try to build up a demand for part time work for seniors, between age 50 to 75.

The suitable work are those around the neighbourhood. This is to avoid travel long distance. The types of work are:

* customer service in shops, bus terminus, MRT stations
* nursing and care of elderly, children and disabled
* administrative work to support small business

A suitable rate is $6 per hour. A higher rate is justified for work that require special skills.

The part time work can be for 25 hours a week or 100 hours a month. At the rate of $6, the earnings can be $600. The government provides the Workfare Bonus which can add another $50 a month.

As the seniors have probably retired from full time work, a monthly income of $600 to $800 can be a useful supplement to their savings. It is also useful to keep occupied.

I hope that this can lead to the creation of many service jobs in the neighbourhood.
