This scheme has reached the age of 60, which is a mandatory member of the National Pension System, but did not meet the minimum pension period of 10 years (120 months). The idea was to allow you to continue to pay premiums before age 65 when you want to get a lot of pensions.

The National Pension Service explains that even though they are 60 years old, they often join voluntarily when they cannot receive old-age pensions because their minimum enrollment period is under.

There were also overwhelmingly women, 5,206 men and 28,270 women.
