Change in labor time is affecting occupational safety and health. Recently reduction in labor time brought innovational operation method, investment in plant and equipment, and flexible labor time in some companies, thereby affecting working conditions for labourers. However, working conditions for some vulnerable social groups have deteriorated. As a result, they are becoming more exposed to risk factors such as injury and emotional stress. In this study we use 2014 KWCS data in order to find the social and demographic characteristics in Korean working conditions. To this end, we use exploratory data analysis approach to find the relationship between some of the important variables in the KWCS data. We also use Press-State-Response model to find which group of people are vulnerable to Press and State. We find that women, people over age 50 and business owners are more vulnerable to Press and State than men, people below age 50 and wage workers.

연구목적: 본 연구는 사회적 취약계층을 고려한 재난문자방송 서비스의 개선에 초점을 맞추고, 특히 고령자에게 필요한 서비스 요인을 일반인과 비교분석을 통하여도출하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 다중회귀분석을 활용하였으며, 종속변수로 재난문자방송 서비스의 전반적인 만족도를 사용하였고, 독립변수로 각각의 서비스 요인들을 선정하여 2개 그룹을 비교분석하였다. 연구결과: 분석결과, 고령자와 일반인 두 그룹 모두 재난문자방송의 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 서비스 요인은 신속한 전달인 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째 요인으로는 고령자의 경우 충분한 내용 전달로 나타났으며, 일반인의 경우 시스템 품질로 나타났다. 두 그룹 간의 분석결과를 종합하면, 고령자는 내용적인 측면을 좀 더 중요하게 생각하는 반면, 일반인은 시스템 품질, 송출기준 등과 같은 기능적인 측면을 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 고령자들은 신속한 전달과 함께 충분한 내용 전달을 중요시하고 있는데, 이는 고령자가 일반인에 비해 이해력과 사고력이 떨어지게 된다는 점에서 고령자 특성을 고려한 재난문자 송출이 필요하다.

고용노동부 자료에 의하면 최근 건설 현장에서 발생 되는 사고는 대부분 신규 근로자, 외국인 근로자, 고령 근로자 등 취약근로자에서 일어나고 있다. 이러한 취약근로자들은 건설 현장의 특성상 현장에 존재하고 있는 많은 위험에 대한 인지력 부족 때문에 사고로 이어지는 경우가 많다. 따라서 현장에서 발생 되는 사고를 줄이기 위해서는 취약근로자에 관한 관심과 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구는 IPA 분석을 통해서 취약근로자에 대한 안전의식수준, 안전관리 우선순위을 파악하고자 하였다. 신규근로자는 현장에 이른 시일 내에 적응할 수 있도록 해야 하며 외국인 근로자의 경우 언어소통 문제로 수시확인이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 고령 근로자의 경우 건강 상태를 점검해야 하며 정해진 업무 이외에 다른 업무를 수행하고 있는지를 확인하는 것이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 '코로나19'로 인한 팬데믹 상황에서 우리 사회의 건강취약계층의 건강보장을 위한 법적 개선 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 첫째, 기존의 (사회)취약계층 의미를 살펴본 뒤, 건강이라는 사회적 위험을 연계하여 확장된 개념으로서 건강취약계층을 비판적으로 고찰하였다. 취약계층이라는 용어는 전통적인 관점에서 노인, 장애인, 여성 등의 계층과 낮은 소득 등으로 인한 생활능력이 없는 조건, 이를테면 저소득층의 기준을 모두 충족하는 개념으로서 사용되었던 경향이 있다. 건강취약계층의 개념은 이러한 취약계층의 개념이 건강 위협 등 사회적 위험 등과 연계되어 확장된 개념으로 나타나고 있는 최근의 동향을 반향하고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 둘째, 법률상 건강취약계층과 함께 보건의료 취약계층이라는 용어가 사용되면서 나타나는 문제점을 살펴보았다. 두 용어를 각각 사용하는 법률과 정책들로 인해서 건강 및 보건의료에 관한 사회보장제도 안에서 사각지대가 발생할 수 있는 문제점이 있었다. 셋째, 건강취약계층에 대한 건강보장을 위한 법률적 개선 방안들을 제시하였다. 건강취약계층에 대한 개념 확대와 법률적 용어의 포괄성, 통합적인 보건의료서비스를 위한 법률 간 체계성, 건강취약계층을 보호하기 위한 맞춤형 정책 및 인적 역량 강화 등을 제언하였다.

Among men, depression is often unrecognised and untreated. Men employed in male-dominated industries and occupations may be particularly vulnerable. However, efforts to develop tailored workplace interventions are hampered by lack of prevalence data. A systematic review of studies reporting prevalence rates for depression in male dominated workforce groups was undertaken. Studies were included if they were published between 1990 - June 2012 in English, examined adult workers in male-dominated industries or occupations (> 70% male workforce), and used clinically relevant indicators of depression. Twenty studies met these criteria. Prevalence of depression ranged from 0.0% to 28.0%. Five studies reported significantly lower prevalence rates for mental disorders among male-dominated workforce groups than comparison populations, while six reported significantly higher rates. Eight studies additionally found significantly higher levels of depression in male-dominated groups than comparable national data. Overall, the majority of studies found higher levels of depression among workers in male-dominated workforce groups. There is a need to address the mental health of workers in male-dominated groups. The workplace provides an important but often overlooked setting to develop tailored strategies for vulnerable groups.
