Abstract

This study examines the changes in the economic activity status of non-regular workers, especially the transition to regular employment. Empirical analysis is carried out with Economically Active Population Survey data between 2006 and 2021. As a result of the analysis through the transition matrix, the conversion between wage and non-wage workers and the conversion between regular and non-regular workers among wage workers has decreased significantly over the past 15 years. In particular, the conversion ratio of non-regular workers to regular workers declined significantly from 18.9% in 2006-07 to 10.1% in 2020-21. The conversion of non-regular workers to regular workers has a higher proportion by turnover than by tenure, and the conversion to regular workers by tenure has decreased significantly. And the decline in the conversion ratio to regular workers is greater for non-fixed term contract workers and temporary agency workers. These results are generally consistent with the results of previous studies. However, this study does not provide an explanation of the reason for the decrease in the conversion to regular workers. Considering the empirical results and the trend of the proportion of non-regular workers among wage workers, additional studies of the cause of segmentation is needed.
