This study examines the factors related to university students' positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. A total of 338 university students in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, and Kyungnam area provided information about their socio-economic background, parents' employment history, achievement motivation, and gender egalitarian attitude. A two-way analysis of variance showed significant interaction effects of gender and grade on positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. Multiple regression analyses by gender indicated that factors related with university students' positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment may differ by gender. For male students, grade, and socio-cultural gender egalitarian attitude were significantly related to positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment. For female students, grade, family monthly income, mother's employment during elementary school, and achievement motivation were related with positive beliefs about the consequences of maternal employment.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between employment stress and oral symptoms in health college students. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 275 health college students in Seoul from October 7 to November 29, 2013. The data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 14.0 program. Results : Female students tended to have higher employment stress oral symptoms than male. The higher the employment stress was, the more oral symptoms were. There was a close relationship between personal trait, environmental stress and oral symptoms. Regression analysis showed that tongue, teeth, gum, temporomandibular joint(TMJ) were influenced by the employment stress. Conclusions : It is important to reduce the environmental stress in the students. The students themselves must try to overcome the agonal condition by diverting stress into positive way of living.

Objectives : Using several waves of the Panel Study of Worker's Compensation Insurance(PSWCI), this study analyzed the effect of female workers on the health and lifestyles of korean workers in the sample year of 2014 (The first survey was completed in August-October 2013;, the second survey was completed in August-October 2014.) Methods : The research subjects were 24,672 women among workers who responded to the 2014 PSWCI panel report. Statistical analyses were performed with SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Results : According to the results of the analysis, women showed differences in female temporary workers, working conditions, classification of occupation, working period, and health conditions based on work-time conditions. The results show that female workers with disabilities have a direct positive effect on life satisfaction as we anticipated in the hypothesis. Conclusions : Female workers should focus on factors identified in this study when developing employment interventions to improve a health promoting lifestyle for their work environment.

Introduction: Previous studies on occupational health focussed predominately on the occurrence of occupational diseases. Relatively few studies have measured how employment is associated with the use of healthcare services. This study investigates the association between employment and the extent and range of healthcare use, such as medical expenditures, of women in South Korea. Methods: We analyze data of the Korean Health Panel, an ongoing longitudinal national representative survey, from 2008 to 2017, to identify the status of economic activity of women by year and age group. We estimate the association between female employment status and medical expenditures by using random effect panel Tobit models. Furthermore, we investigate the association between employment status and the range of healthcare services in biomedicine and traditional Korean medicine (KM) by conducting conditional fixed-effects logistic regression analyses. Results: For women aged between 25 and 65 in 2017, the majority of them were employed or self-employed. (The proportion of employment of self-employment equals 64.80%). In addition, working women spent 11.6% less on healthcare than nonworking women, and self-employment lowered the healthcare expenditure by 13.1%. Neither work nor the type of work is related to the types and range of healthcare service use. Being employed or self-employed is negatively associated with women's expenditure on healthcare. Conclusions: The findings show that employment is associated with less spending on healthcare. They imply that employment has a positive impact on women's health.

본 연구는 대다수가 원-하청 구조 하의 간접고용 되어 있는 청소노동자의 고용구조와 노동형태, 그리고 사회보장제도 경험에 대한 질적 사례연구를 실시하였다. 이를 위해, 하청 여성 청소노동자의 노동시장에서의 불안정성을 구체적으로 살펴보고 이러한 특징이 어떻게 사회안전망에서의 배제와 연결되어 있는지 분석하였다. 분석결과, 하청업체에 고용되어 있는 중고령 여성 청소노동자들은 높은 고용 불안정성과 장시간의 높은 강도의 노동을 하고 있으면서도, 중고령 여성이기 때문에 사회보장제도에 충분히 포괄되거나 보호받지 못하고 있었다. 이러한 청소 노동자들에 대한 한국의 사회안전망은 다음과 같은 허구성을 가진 것으로 드러났다. 첫째, 여성 청소노동자들은 청소노동 종사 이전에는 비공식적 노동시장에서 일하는 등 국민연금에 최소한의 금액만 납부하였거나 최소 가입기간을 채우지 못한 경우가 많았다. 따라서 기초연금 및 국민연금을 포함한 공적 연금제도에 의한 노후소득보장 수준이 매우 열악하였다. 둘째, 한국 퇴직급여 제도가 퇴직연금체계로 전환되는 흐름 속에서, 원-하청업체 간의 계약 해지에 따라 업체변경이 빈번한 하청 청소노동자들은 안정적인 기금 형성이 어려워 퇴직연금체제가 노후소득보장제도로서 실효성을 갖는 데 한계가 있었다. 셋째, 고용보험의 경우 현행 실업급여제도는 가입자격 관련 연령기준으로 인해 수급자격이 박탈되는 경우가 많았으며, 직업훈련과 구직활동 서비스 또한 대개 활용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 중고령의 청소노동자들은 반복적인 육체노동에 따른 근골격계 질환에 많이 노출되어 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 그럼에도 불구하고 노화와 산재간 판정의 어려움, 그리고 원-하청의 고용구조로 인해 산재보험의 혜택을 받는 경우는 드물었다. 결론적으로, 하청 청소노동시장에서 중고령 여성 청소노동자의 일에 대한 불안정성은 상당히 높은데도 불구하고, 한국의 사회보장제도는 이들이 노동자로써 뿐만 아니라 최소한의 인간다운 삶을 유지하게 하는 데 많은 한계를 보이고 있다고 분석되었다.

최근 근로자의 일과 가정생활의 균형을 도모하기 위한 방안으로 육아휴직 지원제도의 확대가 필요하다는 주장이 종종 제기되고 있다. 그러나 육아휴직의 이용은 출산 후 고용의 연속성을 보장함과 동시에 개인의 인적자본을 감퇴시켜 장기적으로 근로활동을 저해할 수 있다는 점에서 보다 세심한 접근이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지난 2001년에 도입된 육아휴직급여제도의 단계적인 확대가 여성의 제도 이용률과 근로 연속성을 증진시켰는지를 조사하였다. 분석 결과, 육아휴직급여의 증액이 여성근로자의 육아휴직 이용률을 증가시킨 것으로 나타났다. 또한 육아휴직급여의 증가로 인해 출산 후 노동시장 복귀율이 단기적으로는 낮아졌으나, 장기적으로는 부정적인 효과의 크기가 줄어드는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동일 직장으로의 복귀 가능성에 대한 부정적인 효과는 장기적으로도 지속되는 것으로 확인되었다. 추가적으로 육아휴직급여의 증가로 인해 사업장 단위에서 가임기 여성근로자의 비중이 변하였다는 증거를 발견하지 못하였다. 이러한 결과는, 고용보험 피보험자 자격을 동반한 근로활동만을 분석했다는 한계점이 존재하나, 여성의 경제활동 참여를 장려하기 위한 정책수단으로서 육아휴직급여 확대는 실효성이 없음을 암시한다. 한편, 육아휴직제도의 보다 포괄적인 평가를 위해서는 여성의 고용안정뿐만 아니라 아동의 발달 측면에서의 분석이 필요하므로 이 분야에 대한 정책적 관심이 요구된다.

PURPOSE: This study examined the differences between male and female workers by investigating the various factors that affected the workers' abilities to return to work according to the International Classification of Functioning standards. METHODS: We analyzed the personal factor, environmental factor, work performance and participation factor related to ICF according to worker's gender. For this purpose data from the third Worker's Compensation Insurance panel survey conducted by the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service were analyzed. In order to verify the research model, we used frequency analysis, cross analysis to compare the differences between male and female workers according to personal, environmental, work performance, and participation factors and hierarchical regression analysis to identify significant factors affecting job performance. RESULTS: The results, indicate that the level of education, license status, working period, socioeconomic status and employment type of female workers were lower than those of male workers. Factors that have the greatest influence on job performance are grade of disability, status of disability, economic activity status, and instrumental activities of daily living (p<.05). CONCLUSION: It is necessary to provide socially stable employment support and social policy support without discrimination to allow disabled female workers to return to work and maintain their jobs and to study factors influencing job performance further.

Enhancing labor market flexibility is currently posted as one of the major economic policy objectives in Korea. However, the labor market effects of specific policies to achieve it have not been sufficiently investigated. This paper takes up the issue of employment protection deregulation and surveys and empirically analyzes its policy effects. Academic researches generally confirm that deregulation tends to promote labor turnover and employment of the disadvantaged groups such as the youth and female by raising the overall efficiency of the economy, but its effects on unemployment is not clear. In the Korean labor market, both job creation and destruction, and labor mobility have increased after the economic crisis of 1998, but they can not be seen as deregulation effects as the changes are confined to the temporary and daily employment whose labor markets are least regulated whereas the regular employment market remains virtally unchanged. Such results suggest that labor market deregulation need to be pursued consistently as a policy goal since the labor demand condition shift and the need for expanding regular employment necessitates it, for which detailed policy agenda for removing market inefficiencies should be carefully arranged.

Background: The objective of this study was to elucidate the relationships musculoskeletal pains with combined vulnerability in terms of age, gender, and employment status Methods: The fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) in 2010 (43,816 participants aged 15 years and over) analyzed for European employees and the third Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) in 2011 (50,032 participants aged 15 years and older) analyzed for Korean employees. In this study, three well known vulnerable factors to musculoskeletal pains (older age, female gender, and precarious employment status) were combined and defined as combined vulnerability. Associations of musculoskeletal pains with combined vulnerability were assessed with prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated by Poisson regression models with robust estimates of variance. Results: The prevalences of musculoskeletal pains were lower but the absolute and relative differences between combined vulnerabilities were higher among Korean employees compared with the European employees. Furthermore, the increased risk of having musculoskeletal pains according to combined vulnerability was modestly explained by socioeconomic factors and exposure to ergonomic risk factors, especially in Republic of Korea. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the labor market may be more unfavorable for female and elderly workers in Republic of Korea. Any prevention strategies to ward off musculoskeletal pains, therefore, should be found and implemented to mitigate or buffer against the most vulnerable work population, older, female, and precarious employment status, in Republic of Korea.

본 논문에서는 성에 따른 취업자의 지역별 통근율의 차이와 취업기회의 차이에 대한 분석을 통한 성에 따른 직주분리의 정도와 이에 의한 통근통행행태의 차이가 설명되었다. 분석결과 남성취업자의 경우 직장과 거주지의 위치에 따른 공간적 제약이 이들의 취업과정에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 반면 여성취업자의 경우는 직장과 거주지의 위치에 따른 공간적 제약이 이들의 취업과정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 취업과정에서 나타나는 공간적 제약의 성에 따른 차이는 곧 성에 따른 직주분리의 정도의 차이를 유발하여 여성취업자가 남성취업자에 비하여 상대적으로 직주분리의 정도가 적은 것으로 나타나며 이러한 직주분리의 차이는 다시 이들의 통근통행행태에도 영향을 미친다. 즉 일반적으로 남성통근자는 여성통근자에 비하여 보다 장거리 통근을 하며, 보다 많은 통근비용을 지출하고 또한 상대적으로 고급의 통근수단을 이용하고 있는 것으로 나타난다.
