Poverty in Korea is affecting mostly the elderly.
Why do you think this is the case?
The poverty rate of the elderly in Korea is the worst among the OECD countries, and the poverty rate is overwhelmingly high at 48.6%. The reason for the high level of poverty in the elderly is that the retirement who are the baby boomers in Korea causes more are age and retire and loses their jobs and lives with a small pension. To solve this problem, I think that we should pay more attention to job creation for the elderly at national level.
