| Research Abstract |
This research tried to study how the system of employment has changed and how the Non-standardization of labor force has developed in Korea comparing with that in Japan, as the world economy has become more globalized rapidly since the 1990s. We found that the non-standard workers in Korea had more informal characteristics than in Japan, in other words, they were excluded severely from the protection of the labor law, the social security system and the trade union. That means that they have the common characteristics with the residents in the urban informal sector formed during the period of high economic growth in the 1970s in Korea. Moreover, we verified that explicit discrimination on the basis of gender definitely existed even in non-standard employment in Korea.
