Background: The health of the economically active population contributes to increased corporate productivity by reducing the productivity loss caused by disease and increasing job efficiency, which in turn is a national benefit. Since the economically active population is a concept encompassing workers and a source of economic development for a country, that population's health should be treated with importance not only from a personal standpoint but also at a national level. Methods: In this study, data of 11,007 adults aged 20 years and older who participate in economic activities were analyzed in the five-year Korea Health Panel Study from 2010 to 2014 including the number of dental visits and dental medical expenses. Results: Factors related to "gender," "education level," "age," "duty category," "income level," "employment type," "national health insurance," and "chronic disease status" of the economically active population are affected in relation to the number of visits and dental medical expenses. The number of dental visits increased with higher education levels (p<0.001), and the number of visits to the dentist increased with older age (p <0.001). Dental medical expenses were 91,806 Korean won (KRW) more for "white-collar workers" than for "blue-collar workers" (p<0.03), and 127,674 KRW more for "regular workers" than for "atypical workers" (p<0.02). Conclusion: When it is necessary to improve policies to enhance the efficiency of the distribution of health and medical resources in the overall balance of the dental health sector, we should try to identify various factors of oral health disorder due to income inequality among the classes according to the country's employment type in order to find ways to reduce the health gap among the social classes.

본 연구는 가짜 자영업자를 고려하고 있지 않은 비정규직 근로자 규모 추정 방식의 한계를 밝히는데 목적이 있다. 가짜 자영업자는 근로관계의 실질에서 근로자처럼 종속성이 존재함에도 불구하고 자영업자로 간주하는 위장된 고용관계를 의미한다. 기존의 비정규직 근로의 규모 추정 방식은 실질적으로 임금근로자이지만 비임금 근로로 분류된 가짜 자영업자들을 추정에서 제외시키는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 한국노동패널 자료 11차년도(2008년)-16차년도(2013) 자료를 토대로 가짜 자영업자를 추정하고, 이를 임금근로에 반영하여 비정규직 근로자 규모의 변화를 예측하였다. 관측기간 중에서 2013년도에 이르면 가짜 자영업자는 사업장이 없는 자영업자 중에서 28.5%를 차지할 만큼 규모가 크다. 또한 가짜 자영업자로 분류된 인원을 임금근로자 중 특수형태근로 종사자로 재배치하여 비정규직 규모를 추정하였는데, 이러한 추정방식에 따르면 가짜 자영업 인원이 반영된 특수형태근로자 비중은 한 해 만을 제외하고 임금근로자의 4.0% 이상을 유지할 만큼 높게 나타나 정부에서 발표한 규모는 현실보다 과소 추정되었다고 볼 수 있다. 통계청에서 공식적으로 발표한 임금근로자수에 특수형태근로자 비중을 적용한 결과 예측된 인원은 74만 명이 넘는 것으로 추정된다. 우리 사회에서 바람직한 비정규직 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 무엇보다 비정규직 범위와 규모를 합리적으로 도출하는 노력이 요구된다.

Recently, as Korean industrial structure is moving to the service job, the number of workers engaged in the service job is increasing slowly. According to the statistics by Ministry of Employment and Labor announced in June, 2013, the number of service job workers in Korea was 7,477,135 which accounted for 48.4% of total workers. The trend of this service job is expected to increase continuously in the future. According to the 2013 statistics by Ministry of Employment and Labor, the number of industrial accidents victims of industrial accidents in the service job was 30,526 which was the biggest number among the entire businesses. The victims in the service job accounted for 33.2% among the total number of industrial accidents and represented more than those in the manufacture and construction industry. The service job had various works and employment patterns and most service jobs are petty and are small-sized establishments and it is difficult to try voluntarily to prevent the industrial accidents. However, Korean occupational safety and health act was enacted in accordance with the construction and manufacture in which industrial accidents occurred frequently in the past. The support of the government for the industrial accident prevention is focused on the construction and manufacture. Therefore, the current service job is placed on the blind spot of the safety management. Raising the safety awareness of workers through the safety education is the most important in order to prevent the industrial accidents of the service job with many conventional/repeated disasters such as the conduction by a simple mistake. Accordingly, this study analyzed the features and accidents of the domestic service jobs through the literature survey and analyzed the institutional devices for the safety management of the domestic service job, and the safety management cases of foreign service jobs and compared with domestic systems. Considering demands for the basic safety education for service job workers, a questionnaire was conducted targeting the service job workers and the execution plan of the basic safety & health education targeting the service job workers was carried out through the brainstorming of trainers of worker in the service job.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to summary controversy over health risks among semiconductor workers, to review major cancer risk results conducted in semiconductor operation and to evaluate occupational health activities in Korea for controlling hazardous agents generated in semiconductor operations Methods: Major occupational health issues that has been social controversies among semiconductor workers since 2007 were reviewed through an extensive literature, report and article review. Results: Since a female semiconductor worker aged 22 died from leukemia in 2007, job-association of a number of former semiconductor workers with various types of cancer and rare diseases have been denied by the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (KWCWS), but some of them were later awarded compensation as an occupational disease by the administrative court. Two epidemiologic cancer risk studies conducted in Korea found increased risks in leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma among semiconductor workers. Various legal occupational health activities taken in semiconductor industry were found to fail to assess a complex characteristics of semiconductor operations, such as drastic changes in chemical use, processes, and technology, multiple exposure. National compensation regulation also showed the limitation to evaluate job-association of semiconductor workers who had worked in semiconductor operation. Conclusions: National legal measures should be taken to improve several occupational health activities and duties for protecting workers. In addition, the KWCWS program should be revised so that all workers who meet minimal job or environment associations can be compensated.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a control group based on the big data from National Health Insurance Service. We also presented presented the number of incidences for each cancer, and analyzed the cancer incidence rate among Korean workers. Methods: The cohort definition was separated by 'baseline cohort', 'dynamic cohort', and 'fixed- industry cohort' according to the definition. Cancer incidence was calculated based on the Korean Standard Classification of Disease code. Incidence rate was calculated among the group of all workers and public officials. Based on the study subjects and each cohort definition, the number of observations, incidences, and the incidence rate according to sex and age groups was calculated. The incidence rate was estimated based on the incidence per 100,000 person-year, and 95% confidence intervals calculated according to the Poisson distribution. Results: The result shows that the number of cancer cases in the all-worker group decreases after the age of 55, but the incidence rate tends to increase, which is attributed to the retirement of workers over 55 years old. Despite the specific characteristics of the workers, the trend and figures of cancer incidence revealed in this study are similar to those reported in previous studies of the overall South Korean population. When comparing the incidence rates of all workers and the control group of public officials, the incidence rate of public officials is generally observed to be higher in the age group under the age of 55. On the other hand, for workers aged 60 or older, the incidence rates were 1,065.4 per 100,000 person-year for all workers and 1,023.7 per 100,000 person-year for civil servants. Conclusions: This study analyzed through health insurance data including all workers in Korea, and analyzed the incidence of cancer of workers by sex and age. In addition, further in-depth researches are needed to determine the incidence of cancer by industry.

인천지역에 위치한 한 개 특수건강진단기관에서 1995년 1월부터 1997년 12월까지 3년간 1회 이상 건강진단을 받은 근로자 61,569명의 건강진단 수진결과 전산자료를 받아 같은 지역에 위치한 4개 직장의료보험조합에 이들 근로자의 사업장 이름을 전달하고 이들 피보험근로자의 폐암으로 인한 병 의원이용 전산자료를 취득하였다. 4개 조합에 속하여 의료보험 청구자료를 구할 수 있었던 근로자는 44,958명이었는데 관찰기간을 동일하게 하기 위하여 연구기간 3년 동안 의료보험 취득기간이 2년 미만인 근로자와 자료이상으로 판단되는 근로자 14,4202명과 비제조업 종사 근로자 1,054명을 제외한 28,884명을 분석 대상으로 하였다. 2개의 출처가 다른 자료를 주민등록번호를 이용하여 연결하여 새로운 데이터베이스를 구성하고 이를 이용하여 주물업 종사 근로자와 비주물업 종사 근로자의 폐암이 주상병명인 경우에 차이가 있는가를 분석하였다. 연구결과 3년 동안 병 의원을 이용한 전산자료 중 주상병명이 폐암인 근로자는 주물업 종사 근로자 1,591명 중 7명, 비주물업 종사 근로자 27,293명 중 12명으로 두 집단간에 유의한 차이가 있었다(비차비 10.04, 95% 신뢰구간 3.95-25.55, p<.001). 본 연구가 부정확한 상병명으로 대표되고 있는 의료보험 전산자료를 이용한 관계로 이 결과에 근거하여 주물업 종사 근로자들이 비주물업 종사 근로자들에 비하여 폐암발생률이 높다라고 단정적으로 결론을 내릴 수는 없지만 주물업 종사 근로자들에서 폐암 발생이 증가할 가능성을 뒷받침하는 근거 중 하나가 될 수 있다고 판단된다. 따라서 향후 제대로 설계된 코호트연구를 통하여 주물업 종사 근로자들의 폐암발생 위험도를 구하고 위험요인을 분석하는 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.
