Changes in Precarious Employment Among South Korean Women

Author

Listed:
  • Younga Kim

Abstract

How does continuity of employment affect precariousness of South Korean women over their life cycle? A multilevel discrete-time logit model shows that marriage and the presence of young children do not worsen precariousness, but poor quality of employment and low occupational status confine women to precarious statuses. Escaping from precarious employment comes from higher educational attainment and longer periods of paid employment.
