Abstract
ABSTRACT This study utilises the National Health Insurance Service of Korea (NHIS) data which include the results of annual and bi-annual health screening of North Korean refugees together with indicators of their employment and earnings and investigates the relationship between the refugees’ health and labour market outcomes. We find that the refugees with poor health significantly underperform healthy refugees in the labour market, and the impact of poor health at the time of entry lasts longer than 10 years. We also find that poor health has greater detrimental effects on refugees than on non-refugees.
