Beyond the precariat
This study examines the evolving patterns of precarious work in South Korea over a 20‐year period, challenging conventional understandings of labour market segmentation and class formation. Using group‐based trajectory modelling on Korean Labour and Income Panel Study data (2002–2021), we identify five distinct trajectories of labour market experiences. Our findings reveal that 34.4% of the sample, categorised into persistently high precariousnes…
Retesting the income inequality hypothesis
The Wilkinson hypothesis, which posits that it is income inequality, rather than economic growth, that determines population health in wealthy societies has been widely debated over decades. This article, with an original case selection process, retests the controversial hypothesis with the time‐series–cross‐section ( TSCS ) regression model. The main findings are that disposable income inequality is not statistically significantly associated wit…
Precarious Elderly Workers in Post-Industrial South Korea
This article examines how the combination of immature welfare state and expansion of the service economy, in particular, contributes to the precariousness of the elderly labour market in South Korea where nearly half of the elderly live below the poverty line. It completes an empirical analysis of how elderly workers in Korea are participating in the labour market and examines their situation using a conceptualisation of "precariousness." It is e…
The political economy of changes in family and old‐age welfare policy spending
This study investigated whether in times of budget constraints and in countries with relatively large family policy spending, family policy has an advantage in the budget competition with old‐age expenditures, compared with countries with a lower level of family policy spending. We employed pooled time‐series cross‐sectional analysis of 24 OECD countries from 1998 to 2011. Our findings suggest that the initial level of family spending tends to mo…
Why the Social Investment Approach is Not Enough – The Female Labour Market and Family Policy in the R epublic of K orea
Despite the gradual increase in the female labour market activity rate in most of the countries of the O rganisation for E conomic C o‐operation and D evelopment, the rate has been stagnant in the R epublic of K orea. The low female employment rate in K orea also reflects the withdrawal of a majority of women at the time of marriage or childbirth, resulting in an M ‐shaped pattern. The discourse on social investment attracted much attention from …
