abstract: 'OBJECTIVES: This study explored the effect of employment status on

  mortality over a 13-year period in Korean men. METHODS: Data were used

  from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from 1999 to 2012. This

  study started with 2,737 subjects and included employed men in good

  health, aged 30-69 years. Deaths were tracked for 13 years from 2000 to

  2012. Employment status classifications were: (1) regular employees, (2)

  precarious employees, (3) petty bourgeoisie, and (4) employers. Hazard

  ratios (HRs) were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model, and

  were adjusted for age, education, income, and occupation, with regular

  employees as the reference category. To examine the effect of employment

  status and include employment history, the risk ratios of mortality were

  measured using the Poisson regression model, considering the duration of

  each employment and using 0 years as the reference category. RESULTS:

  Over the course of the 13-year study, being a precarious employee (HR,

  1.84) or petty bourgeoisie (HR, 1.87) at a particular point in time had

  a negative effect on mortality when compared with regular employees.

  Furthermore, working as precarious employees or petty bourgeoisie had no

  positive effect on mortality. A positive effect was observed, however,

  on the overall mortality risk for regular employees. CONCLUSIONS: These

  results suggest that a healthy social policy is needed for precarious

  employees and petty bourgeoisie to avoid disadvantages in the workplace

  and the social safety net.'
