ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to study the management and arrangement methods of ‘Job Creation Projects for Elderly,’ while focusing on the oldest old (aged 80 or older). In this study, we examined to see which method of job selection and management is more suitable for the oldest old: (a) selecting jobs fit for the elderly from already existing jobs, and providing those jobs exclusively to the oldest old, or (b) allowing the oldest old and the young old to participate in the workplace together, which is a method that is currently in use. The data used to analyze the participation status of the oldest old in the abovementioned project were provided by 2014-2015 Saenuri system. We conducted focus group interviews with a total of 77 participants, including those aged 80 or older, under 80, staff members affiliated with executing the project, and clients of the project. While maintaining the current system of placing the oldest old and the young old together, developing new jobs exclusive for the oldest old with deteriorating physical and cognitive functions is expected to be the most effective method of providing jobs for the elderly. With this result, we suggest classifying and dividing jobs based on physical and cognitive abilities, rather than age. This way, young old suffering from premature deterioration of functions may also participate in the work force along with the oldest old.
