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.
