In Korea, persons in special types of employment are not recognized as workers under the Labor Standards Act. They are becoming important economic agents in our society and the number of them is increasing. Nevertheless, there are almost no legal protections for them. Due to the recent COVID-19 incident, persons in special types of employment, self-employed workers and artists have been in many financial difficulties. On the other hand, there is a social qualifier that actively prepares protection measures for irregular workers. Recently, the Act on the Mandatory Application of Industrial Accident Insurance and Employment Insurance for All Special Type Workers has been amended. However, it is somewhat worrisome to make sure that the persons in special types of employment are not specifically reviewed by the industry and are uniformly covered by employment insurance. Some occupations, such as insurance planners, are far from creating employment stability, which is the purpose of employment insurance. In the case of an insurance planners, if they do not want to join the employment insurance, it is need to be respected. Therefore, employment insurance for insurance planners need to be operated in a free way af first. And the government can change the employment insurance system after watching the progress. A plan to pay one-half of the insurance premiums by the insurance company is also necessary to be revised considering the public interest of the insurance company. In addition, it is necessary to establish institutional devices to prevent illegal activities and moral hazards in relation to the requirements for unemployment benefits and prenatal and postnatal benefit, etc.
