The county conducted a satisfaction survey targeting 4,361 participants, and as a result, 99.6% of respondents answered that they were "satisfied."

Only two people answered that they would not participate due to health reasons.

The main motivation for job participation was economic reasons, with 87.2% participating to cover living expenses (58.1%) or pocket money (29.1%).

The survey confirmed that the Senior Job Project not only alleviates income instability among the elderly but also has positive effects on physical health and social relationships.

Regarding "the greatest effect felt through job participation," 62.8% cited "economic help," 25.4% reported improvement and enhancement of physical health, and 10.2% said it was effective in improving interpersonal relationships.

This year, the county is investing about 16.5 billion won to promote 15 senior job projects, including meal helpers at senior centers, No-No Care, neighborhood life management, and school meal services.

A county official said, "We will do our best to ensure that the Senior Job Project contributes to the stable and healthy old age life of the elderly," adding, "We will actively reflect the results of this survey in the establishment of senior job project policies and discover and promote various policies."
