The Ministry of Labor has gathered Lunar New Year gifts from various units participating in the "Diverse Employment Development Program," "Employment Empowerment Program," and "Micro-Entrepreneur Phoenix Program," encouraging the public to purchase gifts that not only bring joy but also support social welfare initiatives. 

According to the Ministry of Labor’s statistics, over the past three years, the "Employment Empowerment Program" has provided jobs to an average of 2,800 disadvantaged unemployed individuals annually. Additionally, around 500 people each year have received startup loans through the "Micro-Entrepreneur Phoenix Program," enabling them to successfully establish self-sufficiency.

These are packaged in a classic Lunar New Year gift box, making them ideal as homecoming gifts to convey warm blessings.
