ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to examine empirical evidence to show how nonstandard workers and bogus self-employment workers are in precarious work condition. We constituted criteria for measuring precarious work of nonstandard workers and bogus self-employment workers based on preceding researches and ILO(2012a), and analysed the extent of precarious work using the longitudinal data. The precarious work criteria consist of two subcriteria, namely insecurity in employment contract and working condition. First, the precarious employment contract is subdivided into a contract term and employment relationship. Second, the condition of precarious work is subdivided into three domains; low wage, poor protection from termination of employment, lack of access to social benefits, limited to exercise labor rights. We analysed empirical data, the Korea Welfare Panel of 2010-2014(six-wave panel). Six-year trend of analysis of precarious work is as follows. The nonstandard workers, especially termed workers, part-timers are continuously increased and bogus self-employer are highly increased in recent. The finding applying the criteria of employment contract and working condition is that non-standard workers are more precarious than standard workers. Diverse forms of nonstandard workers are differently increased in insecurity by two criteria. An aspect of employment contract criteria considered, all types of nonstandard workers and self-employers deteriorated continuously. Although the difference on the type of nonstandard workers, the level of insecurity in access to social benefits remained high on working condition. Also, bogus self-employers are exposed to a high exclusion of social security during 6 years.
