Abstract

Present study aims to describe who are the non-regular female workers in South Korea. The dominant form of employment of Korean female non-regular workers is characterized by instable contract, low wage, long-time work and exclusion from the state and occupational welfare. Also, non-regular female workers are not homeogenous but there are various groups of women among female non-regular workers including young part-time workers, high educational middle class contract professionals, particular contract workers such as home-schooling teachers. However, it would worth noting that over 40s, low-educational, low income, breadwinning women who are working in sales, service, and simple handy job are most likely to become non-regular female workers in South Korea. Those women are the major group among non-regular female workers. The public assistance (in cash) for non-regular workers are necessarily needed for them at this point in South Korea.

우리나라 여성들의 노동시장 참여는 계속 증가해 왔지만, 이 증가를 이끈 주된 고용 형태는 정규직이 아니라 비정규직이었다. 남성 배우자의 임금이 불안정해지거나 혹은 일자리를 잃게 되면 특히 저학력 저소득층의 40대 이상 여성들은 가족의 생계를 전담하거나 보조하기 위해 노동시장으로 나오지만, 우리 사회는 이들을 노동시장의 가장 하위 집단으로 취급하면서 비정규직으로 채용하는 것을 당연시한다. 여성 비정규직 속에는 20대 아르바이트생, 고학력 전문직 계약직 여성들, 학습지 교사와 같은 특수고용형태 노동자, 고령의 저학력 판매 서비스직 여성들도 포함되어 있다. 이런 배경에서 본 논문은 우리나라 비정규직 여성 중 가장 취약 집단이자 대표 집단은 누구인지 규명하는 데 일차 목적이 있으며, 아울러 그들을 위한 소득보장 제도로는 무엇이 합당할지 검토하는데 이차 목적이 있다. 문헌분석과 통계수치 분석을 연구방법으로, 본 연구는 우리나라 여성 비정규직의 중에서, 40대 이상, 저학력, 저소득이면서, 남성배우자가 부재하거나 남성 소득에만 의지할 수 없는, 판매직 서비스직 단순노무직 여성들일수록 상대적으로 더욱 비정규직으로 취업한다는 결과를 제시한다. 따라서 그들을 위한 소득보장 제도는 정규직 위주, 남성 위주의 고용보험 제도의 개선보다는 실업부조의 도입이 더 현실적이고 시급함을 주장하고자 한다.
