  • Background: To identify work sectors with high risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in Korean men and women. Methods: We analyzed nationwide data to identify ergonomic risk factors in Korean employees. In particular, we analyzed data on exposure to five ergonomic risk factors (painful/tiring postures, lifting/moving heavy materials, standing/walking, repetitive hand/arm movements, and hand/arm vibration) according to employment sector, sex, and age, using the 2014 Fourth Korean Working Conditions Survey. We also used workers' compensation data on work-related MSDs in 2010, which is available by sex. Results: The different work sectors had different gender distributions. "Manufacturing" (27.7%) and "construction" (11.3%) were dominated by males, whereas "human health and social work activities" (12.4%), "hotel and restaurants" (11.7%), and "education" (10.4%) were dominated by females. However, "wholesale and retail trade" and "public administration and defense" employed large numbers of males and females. Furthermore, the work sectors with a greater proportion of work-related MSDs and with multiple ergonomic risk factors were different for men and women. For men, "construction" and "manufacturing" had the highest risk for work-related MSDs; for women, "hotel and restaurants" had the highest risk for work-related MSDs. Conclusion: Ergonomic interventions for workers should consider gender and should focus on work sectors with high risk for MSDs, with multiple ergonomic risk factors, and with the largest number of workers.

  • A survey on the nutritional state was conducted from June 11 to Nov. 30, 1971, on 673 women workers $(16{\sim}25\;yrs)$ Jorking in a factory of food industry. Total body fat content was measured by skin-fold thickness (S. F. T.) with caliper at three region of the body. And it was calculated by regression equation, with the following conclusions were abtained. 1. The mean with standard deviation body height and weight of the Korean women workers were $155.0{\pm}4.21\;cm$ and $50.1{\pm}5.31\;kg$; respectively. 2. Their mean skin-fold thickness with their standard deviation triceps region of upper arm, 14.3{\pm}3.42$; Subscapular region, $18.0{\pm}5.57mm$; Abdominal region, $19.3{\pm}4.87mm$ and total aveager, 17.2{\pm}3.91mm$. 3. The body fat contents according to body fat weight regression equation were;fat weight. 10.7 kg; fat-free weight, 39.4kg; fat weight/ fat-free weight, 27.5%; fat-free mass/ total body mass 77.6%, and fat weight/ total body mass,21.6%. 4. Since the sknin-fold thickness between the triceps and upper abdominal region and between the former and Subscapular region were correlated with the coefficients of 0.838 and 0.615 respectively. and the following regression equations were established. a) S. F. T. of Subscapular region $(mm)=0.929{\times}$S. F. T. of triceps region (mm)+4.707. b) S. F. T. of Abdominal $region(mm)=1.24{\times}$S. F. T. of triceps region(mm)+1.50. Nutritional survey on the women workers in a fact ory of food industry, performed as above by the S. F. T. method, elucidated the fact that their nutritional state is as good as the control healthy female, and that their energy uptake may well be said to be satisfactory.

  • 본 연구는 중고령 여성의 시간제 근로 실태와 그들이 시간제 일자리를 선택하게 되는 결정요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 더 나아가 중고령 여성 중 시간제 근로와 전일제 근로에 따른 노후준비수준 비교를 통하여, 중고령 여성의 시간제 근로조건 개선을 위한 정책 개발에 필요한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국민연금연구원의 국민노후보장패널조사 4차년도(2011년) 개인 및 가구자료에 직업력 자료를 결합한 자료를 활용하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면, 중고령 여성의 시간제 일자리 결정에 '직전 일자리형태'가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구 결과는 시간제 근로를 하는 중고령 여성이 노후준비수준 항목 중 가구소득, 임금소득, 공적연금 측면에서 전일제 근로를 하는 중고령 여성에 비해 매우 낮은 수준임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 시간제 일자리 활성화 정책 수립 시, 중고령 여성의 공적연금 등을 포함한 사회보장 혜택과 임금수준 향상 및 근로조건을 개선하는 고용보호 장치가 강화될 필요성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
