Age groups between 16 and 55 seem to be more satisfied as per received answers. Namely, age group of 46-55 is the group with the highest satisfaction level (75.3%). However, age groups with seafarers more than 55 years old show satisfaction levels less than average. Taking into consideration that the sample of this group was limited to 3.7% and the percentage of seafarers of such age group globally is about 5-8%, the sample is considered to be representative. There are many reasons why this age group may not feel satisfied on board, such as long periods away from home, unfamiliarity with modern ways of communication, extensive and chronic stress.
