사회적 배제 시각으로 본 비정규 고용

Irregulation of Employment and Social Exclusion Perspective Jiyeun Chang․Sukyung Yang This research paper views the irregular employment with a social exclusion perspective and tries to answer two questions: First, are the irregular workers excluded from the mainstream labor market? Irregular workers have created a separate labor market segregated from the regular labor market, and face significantly lower levels of wages under discriminatory compensation systems. The movement between regular and irregular employment is extremely limited, whereas, movement among irregular employment, self-employment and the economically inactive state is frequent, indicating that regular workers have created a relatively closed labor market. This indicates that irregular workers in Korea are excluded from the mainstream labor market, and it can be understood as social exclusion. The second question to be investigated is: who are the excluded from the labor market? Irregulation of employment is not a random phenomenon in the labor market. Women, elderly, and low-educated workers take higher risks of irregular employment. Keywords:social exclusion, irregular employment, labor market transition.
