The ratio of the local older adult population, aged 65 and older, has been increased continuously, marking 20.0% of the total population in November 2025. The percentage of older adults aged 80+ marked 12.9%, and stands 6^th in rank throughout all cities and provinces of South Korea.

The older adult welfare policy of Jeju consists of 4 domains: comfortable and safe living environment, active and confident later life, healthy life together, and management and maintenance of age-friendly policies. There are two or three sub-domains in each domain.

In addition to the basic welfare policies for older adults, Jeju provincial government has developed “Jeju’s 2^nd Basic Plan for Senior Welfare and an Aging Society (2023~2027)” following the 8 domains of WHO’s Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities.

Therefore, the 3^rd Action Plan for Age-friendly Jeju (2026~2027) was designed to be implement over a two-year period and be evaluated in alignment with the 2nd Basic Plan for Senior Welfare and an Aging Society (2023–2027). Based on the results of these evaluations, the 4^th Age-Friendly City Action Plan will be formulated, with the aim of implementing age-friendly city policies in Jeju in a more systematic and coherent manner.

The main initiative is to develop Jeju as an age-friendly community for the benefit of local older adults by ensuring healthy ageing through the guaranteed income, opportunities for  social participation, and by establishing responsive infrastructures.

Jeju established the basic ordinance for the Elderly Welfare for the Implementation of an AFC in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. With this ordinance, Jeju has developed numerous policies through various research to create an endless atmosphere and environment to maintain Age-Friendly Jeju.
