abstract: 'We aimed to evaluate the health effects of precarious employment based
on a counterfactual framework, using the Korea Labor and Income Panel
Survey data. At the 4th wave (2001), information was obtained on 1991
male and 1378 female waged workers. Precarious work was defined on the
basis of workers employed on a temporary or daily basis, part-time, or
in a contingent (fixed short-term) job. The outcome was self-rated
health with five response categories. Confounding factors included age,
marital status, education, industry and occupation of current
employment, household income, residential area, and prior health status.
Propensity scores for each individual to be a precarious worker were
calculated from logistic models including those covariates, and based on
them, precarious workers were matched to non-precarious workers. Then,
we examined the effects of precarious employment on health and explored
the potential intermediary variables, using ordered logistic Generalized
Estimating Equations models. All analyses were performed separately by
gender. Precarious workers were found to be in a lower socioeconomic
position and to have worse health status. Univariate matched analyses
showed that precarious employment was associated with worse health in
both men and women. By further controlling for socio-demographic
covariates, the odds ratios were attenuated but remained significant.
job satisfaction, especially as related to job insecurity, and monthly
wage further attenuated the effects. This suggests that to improve
health status of precarious workers in Korea. policy strategies need to
tackle the channeling of the socially disadvantaged into precarious
jobs. Also. regulations to eliminate discrimination against precarious
workers in working conditions or material reward should be introduced
and enforced. There is no doubt that job insecurity, which is pervasive
among workers in Korea, should be minimized by suspending
market-oriented labor policies which rely on quantitative flexibility.
