Abstract

This study aimed to identify worker groups that are to accidents and to track the changes in their socioeconomic status there after. We analyzed the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) database(2001-2006) were recorded according to the participant's economic activity status at the beginning of follow-up, and economic activity status was. During the follow-up period, the unemployed group experienced more accidents that resulted in disability than the economically active group. Interestingly, the unemployed group also had the highest industrial accident rate. Among the employed, daily and unpaid family workers were more vulnerable to disabilities. After the accidents, the participants tended to become economically inactive or unemployed. Compared to other worker groups, the economically inactive, unemployed, and daily and unpaid family workers experienced higher rates of accidents and faced graver conditions as a result. Although they constitute a significantly large part of society, these vulnerable workers are not currently covered by any social security measures, such as accident surveillance, training, and accident insurance. Social policy should therefore be directed toward protecting these vulnerable worker groups.

이 연구는 근로자의 고용상태에 따라 사고 이후 사회경제적 상태에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위해 연구되었다. 노동패널(2001-2006) 자료를 이용하여, 2001년 근로자들의 경제활동 상태, 고용상태가 연구기간 내 어떻게 변화했는지 알아보았다. 추적관찰 동안, 경제활동 그룹에 비해 실직 그룹에서 사고로 인한 장애를 더 많이 겪은 것으로 나타났다. 더구나, 실직그룹에서 산업재해율도 가장 높았다. 고용 상태별로 보면, 일용직, 무임금 근로자들이 장애를 더 많이 겪은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이들은 사고를 겪은 후, 비활동경제상태 또는 실직자가 되었다. 다른 근로자그룹과 비교해서 비활동경제 그룹, 실직자, 일용직, 무임금 가족근로자가 사고율도 높았는데 이는 결과적으로 이들의 사회경제적 상태를 더 악화시켰다.
