This article analyzed after-school instructor’s precarious labor experiences of the 'employment insecurity and low wages' in various social relations, and investigated these insecure labour experiences affect perceptions of their jobs. They felt satisfied as educators in the relations with students and parents, but they experienced the precariousness in the relations with contractual relationship, school principals and after-school management teachers, subcontractors, and even the government. But male were more sensitive to the low income caused by COVID-19 and considered their jobs as ‘suitable for women’ unlike female, so there was a gender gap in perceptions of their jobs. While after-school teaching jobs are regarded as favourable to female for Work and Life Balance, young women felt employment insecurity because of its not friendly labour environment to women’s life course. There was also a concern that the labor market dropout of after-school instructors will increase, starting with men. Thus, more policy and institutional attention needs to the after-school instructors, and efforts should be made to include them in after-school policy consultation bodies such as the ‘local Nulbom School council’.
