Abstract

Abstract This study analyzed the factors related to labor market transition of job injured workers. The Workers’Compensation Insurance Panel data ver.1, which that was surveyed by the Korean Workers’ Compensation & WelfareService in 2013, was used. Four key findings were made: first, the economically inactive populations are 7.2% and unemployed is 22.3% of occupational accident workers who finished the treatment period; second, 31.5% of laborerswho returned to a new workplace went into another type of occupation; third, the results showed that socio-demographic factors, such as gender, age and education years, injury-related factors, such as the treatment periodand work limitation, and workplace factors, such as company size and employment status, were associated with the return to work; and fourth, a relatively higher proportion of people who has received occupational training could not return to work and the disability grade was not associated with the return to work. These results suggest that policymakers need to understand the characteristics of labor market transition of job injured workers and develop efficient intervention programs based on the transitional labor market.key Words : Job Injured Worker, Labour Market Transition, Return to Work, Transitional Labour Market
