8 4. Discrimination Against Non-Regular Workers The Government says that it enacted the Act on the Protection and other matters of Fixed-Term and Part-Time Employees and amended the Act on the Protection and other matters of Dispatched Workers in 2009. With the legislations, the Government is of the opinion that it introduced a scheme to address discrimination against fixed-term, dispatched, and part-time employees (para. 46). The Additional Survey to Economically Active Population Survey conducted by Statistics Korea in August 2013 shows that non-regular workers account for 45.9%, 8.37 million, of the total waged workers, while regular workers take up the remaining 54.1% at 9.87 million. The number of non-regular workers is as large as that of regular workers, and 96.5% of the non-regular workers, or 8.08 million, either are temporary workers or double the parts of a temporary post. Monthly average wage for three months from June to August 2013 is KRW 2.84 million for regular workers, which is about twice as high as KRW 1.41 million for non-regular workers. Working hours per week, however, are not much different from each other: 40.5 hours for non-regular workers and 42.8 hours for regular workers. Hourly wage, on the other hand, is KRW 8,263 for non-regular workers, while it is KRW 15,648 for regular workers. As of August 2013, non-regular workers take up 93.0%, or 1.94 million, of the 2.09 million waged workers whose hourly pay falls short of the statutory minimum wage of KRW 4,860, while regular workers account for 7%, or approximately 150 thousand workers. While 84 to 99% of regular workers subscribe to social insurance including National Pension, National Health Insurance, and Unemployment Insurance, the social insurance policyholder ratio of non-regular workers ranges from 33 to 39%. 72 to 99% of the regular workers enjoy the benefits of severance pay, bonus, overtime pay, and paid leave, while 19 to 38% of non-regular workers do.
