Cleaning Research Institute Surpasses 150,000 Cleaning Managers

Contribution to Job Creation for Middle-Aged Women
Annual Win-Win Support Fund Up to 2.4 Million KRW Provided

Life Research Institute, which operates the home cleaning service platform Cheongso Yeonguso, announced on the 22nd that the number of registered cleaning managers has surpassed 150,000.

Cheongso Yeonguso started with 1,500 cleaning managers in its launch year of 2017, rapidly increasing to 70,000 by July 2022 and 100,000 by February 2023. Among the 150,000 cleaning managers, 87% are active in the metropolitan areas including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, contributing to job creation for housewives.

Currently, the average age of Cheongso Yeonguso managers is 56, with those in their 50s and 60s making up 70% of the total. Because they can choose their preferred time and place and work flexibly, the platform has received great response from housewives seeking additional income during their leisure time. Recently, there has also been an increasing influx of managers in their 40s and early to mid-50s.

In particular, Cheongso Yeonguso is conducting an event that provides an annual mutual growth support fund of up to 2.4 million KRW to cleaning managers who achieve 600 cumulative working hours per quarter. Recently, it signed a business agreement with Kakao Healthcare to support a blood sugar management program, helping managers maintain their health.

Additionally, Cheongso Yeonguso continuously supports various welfare benefits such as providing cleaning kits, congratulatory and condolence expenses, holiday gifts, winter vaccinations, and liability insurance enrollment, striving to improve the working environment of cleaning managers so they can provide high-quality services to customers.

Currently, Cheongso Yeonguso is taking the lead in providing jobs by conducting daily training in cooperation with women’s workforce development centers and 50 Plus Centers located nationwide in Seoul, Incheon, Daegu, Busan, and other cities, aiming to promote economic activities for middle-aged and older women and to cultivate professional cleaning managers.

Yeon Hyun-joo, CEO of Life Research Institute, said, “Flexible working hours and next-day payment after task completion allow for planned economic activities, making the platform very popular among middle-aged women. Since more than 60% of cleaning managers join through referrals from acquaintances, we plan to continue investing in professional education systems and welfare programs to enhance both the professionalism of managers and customer satisfaction.”
