The number of elderly job seekers in Korea has exceeded 10 million for the first time. 69.2% of the elderly want to continue working in the future, and the average retirement age is 73.6 years old. The most common reason for working was 'living expenses support,' but the proportion who feel 'the joy of working' has also increased. However, the average monthly pension received by the elderly is 880,000 won, which does not reach the minimum cost of living for a single-person household of 1.54 million won. Along with the increase in the number of elderly job seekers, the average length of service has also increased to 17 years and 7 months.
