National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2015 emergency sites. The Commission conducted a survey on 500 domestic workers without employment benefits, including housemaids, babysitters and care workers. It turned out that more than 70% of the respondents were depending on non-profit or for-profit employment agencies to get a job, suggesting that their jobs were actually part of the available professions in the labor market. However, we found these workers marginalized from typical social benefits and minimum labor conditions, as they were specified as ‘out of scope’ targets for general labor and social security laws including the Labor Standards Act, Minimum Wages Act, Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, and Employment Insurance Act. Based on the survey results, the research team at the Commission proposed measures for improvements, which include: 1. ‌abolishing the “exclusion from application” provision in labor laws, including the Labor Standards Act; 2. including these workers in the scope of social insurance programs; and 3. ‌fostering agencies to provide counseling and job-matching services for foreign domestic workers. C. Survey on the overall research situation of graduate students As of 2014, there were nearly 330,000 graduate students, many of whom reportedly fell victim to unfair actions by their professors. In response to continued complaints, the Commission launched a survey from March to September on 1,906 graduate students in 1,209 graduate schools across the nation to take an in-depth analysis on the overall research situation of graduate students. This includes: (1) their economic situations, (2) institutional and real-life support, (3) environment for learning and joint research projects, and (4) cases of infringement on personal rights by their professors or seniors. As a result, the survey found that many graduate students were suffering from: 1. ‌infringement on their right to study and their own research, as well as economic burden from tuitions mainly due to excessive administrative workloads; Part II Major Activities of NHRCK | 43 Major Activities of NHRCK B. ‌Survey on the human rights situation of domestic workers without employment benefits Part II 7. ‌institutionalize cooperation from related organizations when fire officers are on duty at
