While the local health insurance and the employment-based insurance were integrated in July 2000, the insured is divided into employment-based insured and the local insured and the relevant premium has been applied to both groups. The health insurance premium having the feature of social solidarity has to be determined depending on income, that is, the ability to pay in accordance with the principles of social insurance. While employment-based insurance premium has been determined depending on the earned income, the local insurance premium for the local insured has been determined by scoring gross income(evaluated income), property and possession of automobiles. A variety of improvement approaches has been implemented including introduction of the employment-based insurance premium ceiling system (2002) and the change of property scoring system for the local insured (2006). However, the health insurance system which was merged in 2000 has been implemented up to now without significant change even though there were lots of socio-demographic change including increase of income level and the population structure such as low birth and aging. In other words, it is required to implement the premium rating system securing the income-based equity. Nevertheless, it was inevitable to apply the diverse rating standards in the early stage because it was very difficult to verify the income of the self-employed. Although the income verification rate was significantly increased from 23% in 1989 to 44% in 2010, the irrational standards including property, automobiles, living standard and activity rate have been still applied to the local insured because it is difficult to secure the validity of insurance premium rating system and it severely lacks of security. This paper investigated whether the current insurance premium rating system for the local insured imposing the premium on the basis of 'gender' and 'age' complies with the basic human rights secured by the current Constitution of the Republic of Korea with respect to the practical and theoretic irrationality of insurance premium rating system and standards for he local insured. In accordance with the analysis results, this paper proposed the approach to improve the system.

Purpose: many domestic welfare programs use the amount of health insurance premiums as a way of measuring individuals' income levels for administrative convenience. As health insurance reform has been made, we examines the income level is still appropriately measured by the health insurance premiums for the employment success package as one of domestic welfare program. Methodology/Approach: we investigate whether the upper limit of the premiums of the self-employed health insured is appropriate or not after healthcare reform, which currently calculated by multiplying the insurance premium of the employee based insured by the adjustment factor (1.2). Findings: we examined appropriateness of the adjustment factors by comparing the premiums before and after the healthcare reform by utilizing the national health insurance data as well as Korea Welfare panel data. We found that the new value of adjustment factor (1.0~1.1) is smaller than the current one (1.2). Practical Implications: to improve the equity between the employee and the self-employed insured after the health insurance reform, the adjustment factor should be lower.

이 연구는 우리나라 고용보험제도의 사각지대를 젠더 관점에서 분석하여 고용보장 측면에서 여성에게 실질적인 제도적 보장이 제공되고 있는지의 여부를 실증적으로 검토하고 이를 토대로 고용보험제도의 향후 발전방안에 대해 제언하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 분석 자료로 한국노동패널 12차년도(2009년)와 20차년도(2017년) 자료를 이용하였으며, 사각지대의 원인 분석을 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석(logistic regression)을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 고용보험의 실질적 사각지대는 2009년에 성별 격차가 10%p 이상이었으나 2017년에 5%p 정도로 감소하여 실질적 사각지대의 성별 격차는 다소 완화된 것으로 파악되었다. 고용보험 미가입 원인의 경우 다른 인구사회학적 요인들을 통제할 경우 여성의 고용보험 미가입 가능성이 남성보다 낮아, 노동시장 내 여건이 성별로 동일하다면 여성의 고용보험 가입률이 오히려 남성보다 높아질 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과에 따른 정책적 제언은 다음과 같다. 현재의 고용보험제도는 성별 자체에 의한 가입률 차이보다는 노동시장 특성이 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타나, 성별 노동시장 격차를 완화시키는 것이 고용보험 가입의 성별 격차를 완화시키는 중요한 방법이라는 점을 알 수 있다. 이를 위해 단기적으로는 현재 시행되고 있는 사회보험료 지원 사업이 효과적일 수 있으나, 근본적으로는 여성의 고용환경을 개선시키기 위한 정책적 노력과 더불어 정규직·고임금 노동자를 중심으로 한 현재의 고용보험제도가 불안정 일자리 및 저임금 노동자들을 포괄할 수 있도록 개편될 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the employment rate of engineering graduates in the last eight years (2011-2018) by gender and majors. Using the statistical yearbook for employment of higher education graduates provided by the Korea Educational Development Institute (KEDI), the employment rate and retained employment rate of engineering graduates were investigated. As results, first, the employment rate has been decreasing since 2011, and the gender employment rate gap has not narrowed and women have always been lower than men. Second, most of the engineering graduates were workers with employee health insurance. On the other hand, women were higher than men in works with self-employee health insurance. Third, from 2016 to 2018, the retained employment rate of engineering graduates was similar, and as the survey progressed, the retained employment rate decreased. In particular, women had lower retained employment rate than men. The study is meaningful in that it suggested ways to bridge the gap between gender and majors employment rates of engineering graduates.

19세기 영국 조선산업은 세계시장을 지배했지만 호황과 불황에 따라 실업의 등락이 되풀이되었다. 보일러제조공조합은 고용주의 자유로운 해고권한에 도전하지 않았으며, 수정빈민법 체제의 굴레에 빠지지 않기 위해서 자체 실업보험을 운영했다. 조합 자체의 실업보험은 1911년 실업보험법이 실시될 때는 유지되었지만, 1920년대의 대량실업과 고용주들의 공격을 견디지 못하고 파산했다. 1911년 실업보험법은 직종별 노동조합의 경계를 넘어서서 위험을 분산시키고, 미숙련공과 비조합원에게도 실업보험을 적용했다는 점에서, 그리고 고용주와 국가도 보험료를 부담했다는 점에서 사회-연대적인 특성이 강화된 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 대공황기에 노동조합은 정부가 선박시장에 개입하여 일자리를 제공해줄 것을 요구했지만 이는 받아들여 지지 않았다. 정부는 실업수당 수급자격과 기간 등에 관해서 보험원리를 포기한 편법적 운영을 통해서 노동조합운동이 제기한 또 다른 요구인 생계비 요구에 부분적으로 대처할 수 있었다. 결국 조선산업의 실업은 재군비 확대와 2차 대전의 발발로 해소되었다. 19세기부터 2차 대전에 이르기까지 노동조합은 고용주의 해고 권한에 대해 도전하지 않았고, 해고절차를 규제하거나 해고에 대한 보상을 요구하려고 하지 않았다. 전간기에도 영국에는 취약한 고용보호와 관련된 규칙과 관행들 - 이는 자유주의적 고용조정제도의 주요 특징이다 - 이 널리 퍼져 있었다. 실업보험의 운영이 사회갈등의 초점이 되었고, 결국 1, 2차 대전과 같은 역사적 격변을 거치면서도 고용주의 자유로운 해고권한이라는 원칙은 유지될 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of employment related factors on household savings for precautionary purposes when controlling for financial security and to compare the results between the two different economic periods. A conceptual framework was developed based on the precautionary saving theory, the family stress theory, and previous empirical studies. As a self-insurance, a measure of security funds were developed and used as the dependent variable. Using data on working households in the 1992 and the 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), a MLE estimation was conducted on the pooled data. The 1992 and 1998 data were used to reflect periods of economic recession and expansion, respectively. The results suggested that factors representing resources played the most significant role in determining the amount of security funds. Some of the employment related factors, preferences, financial security, and race were also significantly affected the amount of security funds. The results suggested that stable employment conditions were important for households to accumulate security funds. Households with more human resources and financial resources had a larger amount of security funds than those that had less human and financial resources. From the findings, implications for research, policies, and financial educators had been suggested.

In Korea, female workforce has reached more than 40% of total working population, but the effects of work on spontaneous abortion are yet to be examined. This study as conducted to investigate the occupational effects on spontaneous abortion. Medical insurance claim data were used to examine the effects of the employment status and industry of employment on spontaneous abortion. The study population was composed of females, aged $15{\sim}44$, who were the beneficiary of medical insurance in the month of June, 1993. The working females covered by medical insurance for industrial workers, had the highest age-adjusted Spontaneous Abortion rate (SAB rate=claim frequency of spontaneous abortion/claim frequency of complication of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium), 6.65% whereas female dependants of medical insurance for industrial workers had the lowest age-adjusted SAB rate, 4.54%. Among industrial workers, the workers in manufacturing industry had the highest age-adjusted Spontaneous Abortion ratio(SAB ratio=claim frequency of spontaneous abortion/claim frequency of completly normal delivery), 43.2/100 whereas those in financing and service industry had age-adjusted SAB ratio, 16.2/100 and 20.5/100, respectively. The results of the study suggest the adverse effect of manufacturing Industry on reproduction. Work environments such as chemical exposures, overwork, awkard posture, and job stress should be further studied for their effects on reproductive functions of female.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine health problems experienced by workers in special employment relationships (WSER) and identify coping strategies used when such problems occur. Methods: This qualitative study used the focus group interview method. Thirteen study participants included five home-visit tutors, five insurance salespersons, and three credit card recruiters. The interviews were conducted from November 2018 through January 2019, with each occupational group interview lasting about 2 hours. Analysis based on phenomenological research was independently performed by two researchers. Results: Most participants had common health problems involving vocal cord symptoms, and stress related to emotional labor and traffic accidents. The unique health problems included cystitis, musculoskeletal, and digestive symptoms in home-visit tutors; reduced vision and hearing in insurance salespersons; and mental distress in credit card recruiters. There was no protection system for their health coverage, and the company emphasized their self-employed status to avoid taking responsibility for them. Twelve participants did not purchase occupational accident insurance owing to both not having adequate information and economic burden concerning premium status. Conclusion: WSER experienced both physical and mental health problems. These problems were caused by their unstable employment status, and the social security system for their coverage being non-functioning.
