Nearly half of working women want to keep their jobs even when they get older, a survey showed yesterday.

According to Job Korea, an online employment consulting firm, 46.5 percent of 2,108 women respondents said that they want to work as long as they can, regardless of age.

Only 1.2 percent of respondents said they would quit jobs right after they got married and 7.8 percent when they had children.

More than 16 percent said they would retire in their 60s, the survey said.

Women working for the production sector or on human resources teams had relatively stronger will to work until their retirement, Job Korea said.

Men had similar thoughts on women working.

Nearly 34 percent of 315 male respondents said women could work regardless of their age.
