코로나19 충격의 고용형태별 차별적 영향

In this paper we present evidence that the labor market impacts of COVID-19 are significantly heterogeneous across workers in different forms of employment arrangements in Korea. Using real-time survey data conducted in mid-April of 2020, we find the followings: First, workers in non-standard work arrangements are about twice more likely than those in standard employment to have lost their jobs, experienced involuntary unpaid furlough, and suffered reductions in earnings. Second, within non-standard workers, atypical workers including those in multi-party employment relationship and disguised or dependent self-employment are significantly more likely than temporary or part-time employees to have experienced a fall in earnings. We find, however, no such significant within-differences when concerning the probabilities of being dismissed or furloughed without pay. Third, the analysis restricting the sample to those having experienced neither job loss nor unpaid furlough during this crisis yields the qualitatively the same results for the probability of income loss; workers in non-standard employment are more affected than standard workers, with atypical workers being hit most strongly. These results have important implications for the design of policy responses that target those groups who have suffered most by the COVID-19 crisis.
