  Abstract

This study investigates the working conditions of shift workers according to age group by analyzing the sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey’s data. A total of 1,323 shift workers were extracted from the dataset. Three age groups (A: 20s–30s, B: 40s –50s, C: 60s and above) were statistically compared in terms of health problems, emotional hazard exposure, work-life imbalance, and satisfaction with working conditions. Elderly shift workers (those in their 60s and above) had significantly more severe health problems and work-life imbalance, greater exposure to emotional hazards, and lower satisfaction with working conditions than young shift workers (those in their 20s–50s). The study’s findings reveal the characteristics of working conditions for elderly shift workers and would be useful for improving shift workers’ quality of life, as well as safety and productivity in the workplace.
