While precarious workers at Incheon International Airport have high expectations that their wages and welfare benefits will improve, on the other hand they are concerned about the possible reduction of labor force and the lowered retirement age. Some of cleaning service workers continue to work at the age of over 60, but the statutory retirement age is set at the age of 60.
