노동시장에서의 위치가 고용안정 및 복지선호에 미치는 영향 = Korean Workers` Employment Status and Its Effects on Job Security and Social Policy Preferences

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To investigate the link between labor market insecurity and demand for social protection, this paper makes use of a unique set of survey questions of the 2003 Korean General Social Survey and analyzes the determinants of job security and social protection preferences at the individual level, focusing on the role of employment status. Statistical analysis makes two major findings. First, workers` employment status has a strong impact on whether and how strongly they value stable jobs, but not in the way the insider-outsider theory suggests. Not only insiders but also outsiders value stable employment. In terms of social protection preferences, it is insiders who register great interest in social protection, thus, confirming their role as the prime mover in welfare state expansion.
