  • Widespread in-work poverty, where workers remain below the poverty line despite having jobs, epitomizes the problems facing Korea’s labor market and social safety nets. While low wages, informal work or non-regular jobs are the factors related to the labor market, the blind spots of social safety nets are the factors that fail to prevent people from falling into poverty when exposed to social risks such as unemployment, sickness or old age.
    In particular, the lack of social safety net for the unemployed (unemployment safety net) is one of the main reasons that the working poor struggle to make a living and are forced to accept any job offer, even one that does not match their abilities or preferences. Although they may quickly find employment, they may be subject to repeated unemployment due to inadequate job matching. Until now, the measures to support the working poor have been focused on implementing active labor market policy rather than providing income support. The effectiveness of such measures, however, has been widely criticized due to the following reasons. First, using fiscal policy as a means of directly providing employment cannot protect the working poor against the risks of unemployment and poverty because the jobs created are mostly short-term ones that do not lead to employment in the general labor market. Second, training benefits for individuals with no or unstable work history are provided only when they participate in training programs, creating supply of unnecessary training regardless of the need. Third, the lack of an unemployment safety net undermines the access to employment services.
