산업재해 후 실직・비경제활동인구의 욕구분석과 노동시장이행서비스 개선방안

This study analyzed the job-related needs and vulnerability of the job-injured workers, who were unemployed, to develop a strategy for dealing with labour market transition services. The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Panel data ver.1, which surveyed by the Korean Workers’ & Welfare Service in 2013, was used. Four key findings were as follows. First, the occupational injured workers who could not return to work had very low degree of disability. The physical disability was not the key cause of unemployment. Second, the majority of respondents looked for a job not through public institution such as Workers’ & Welfare Service and public employment information but through by informal social network. They had difficulties with finding jobs such as lack of experience, inadequate working conditions, unsuitable working hours and relatively old age. Third, a higher proportion of people had not experiences in getting information related to return-to-work service, receiving occupational training and using community services except for vocational rehabilitation services. Finally, half of the unemployed selected employment assistance services and 50.5% of the economically inactive populations did health promotion services among the community association sectors. The result suggests that policy makers need to understand the characteristics of the unemployed after suffering job injured and develop efficient vocational training program. It is needed to support labours, who could not return to work, community social service programs based on the transitional labour market
