Talk about voluntary retirement in Korea.
The ratio of Korea's elderly population is one of the biggest in the world.
People 65 or older are considered elderly by law.
On average, voluntary retirement for Koreans is usually in their mid-40s to 50s.
However, many face problems as they try to make the transition.
Some take up part-time jobs or open up small businesses which eventually flounder.
Others are left isolated from society and depressed.
The poverty rate of senior citizens is quite high at about 45 percent.
There is talk of new policy measures from the government to help the elderly.
This includes extending the retirement age and larger pensions.
