[News Focus] Age gap seen in jobless payouts - The Korea Herald

A man applies for unemployment benefits at a regional office of the Employment and Welfare Plus Center in Seoul earlier this year.

This is seen from a comparison of unemployment-benefit payouts to people who lost jobs or closed small businesses, offered by the Korea Employment Information Service.

Its data provides the growth of the tally for benefit recipients by generation and sex.

Male recipients in their 60s ranked second with a 94.3 percent increase -- from 56,729 to 110,228.

4 were women in their 20s and women in their 60s, respectively, with an increase of 87.8 percent to 64,160 and 86.8 percent to 68,020.
