Abstract

This paper investigates the cyclical behavior of UI benefit take-up rate, the share of unemployed persons who are eligible for job seekers' allowances(JSA) and actually receive them. Using Korea's Employment Insurance DB, it also identifies the factors linked to the decision to take up job seekers' allowances. The results show that the take-up rate is countercyclical and leads both unemployment rate and Coincident Composite Index cyclical component by 6 months and is positively correlated with replacement rate and benefit duration, suggesting that extending benefit duration and raising benefit level can boost benefit claims to increase take-up rates in Korea.

고용노동부 "고용보험DB" 의 상실자 종합통계와 실업급여 지급통계를 이용하여 구직급여 수급자격자의 수급과 재취업에 따른 수급자격 상실을 경합적 위험(competing risks)모형으로 분석하였다. 아울러 구직급여 수급률과 경기지수 간의 교차상관관계 분석을 하였다. 분석결과 구직급여 수급률이 실업률과 정(+)의 상관관계를 보이고, 6개월가량 실업률과 경기동행지수를 선행한다. 아울러 수급률이 연령, 학력, 급여지급기간, 소득대체율과 정(+)의 상관관계를 보이고 있다.
