Abstract

Global competition and unstable economic situation in recent years have brought in adverse working conditions such as proliferation of temporary or part-time workers and new shift system. In this study we use exploratory data analysis method to find the relationship between some of the important variables which are related to working hours in KWCS (Korean Working Conditions Survey) and EWCS (European Working Conditions Survey). Next, working hours are explored in terms of sex, employment type, occupation and industry using 2006, 2010, 2011, 2014 KWCS data as well as 2010 EWCS data. Lastly, respondents are divided into two groups of healthy and nonhealthy workers and their working hours are explored in terms of the same categories as above. Finally, simple regression analysis is used to find the effect of health on weekly working hours and adjustment of the effect of health on weekly working hours is made using multiple regression analysis with some other independent variable such as sex, age and employment type included in the model.

근래에 들어 기업 간 경쟁이 심화되고, 경제상황이 불안해지면서 근로시간의 단축은 물론 비정규직이나 시간제 근로자의 양산, 새로운 탄력근무제나 교대제의 도입 등이 일어났고, 따라서 근로시장은 급속한 변화를 겪고 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 우선 탐색적 자료분석 방법을 이용하여 KWCS(Korean Working Conditions Survey)와 EWCS (European Working Conditions Survey) 데이터로부터 근로환경의 측면에서 근로자의 사회 인구학적 특성이 어떤지 살펴보고자 한다. 이어서 KWCS와 EWCS의 데이터를 가지고 탐색적 자료분석 방법으로 주당 근로시간이 성별, 연령별, 종사상 지위별, 직종별, 산업별로 얼마나 차이가 나는지 알아보고자 한다. 마지막으로 근로자들을 건강이 적어도 좋은 편에 속하는 사람들과 건강이 적어도 나쁜 편에 속하는 사람들로 나누어 두 그룹 간 주당 평균근로시간이 성별, 연령별, 종사상 지위별, 직종별, 산업별로 얼마나 차이가 나는지 표를 통해 먼저 살펴보고, 주당 평균근로시간을 반응변수로 보고 이에 영향을 미치는 요인들 (건강, 성, 연령, 종사상 지위 등)의 효과를 점검하는 단순회귀 및 다중회귀 분석을 실시하고자 한다.
