Abstract

|
The issue of whether workers who work more (or less) hours than they want to suffer various effects is important not only at the individual level but also for governmental policies on working time. I analyze how health outcomes in Korea workers are related to working hour mismatch (i.e., differences between actual and preferred hours). Based on Korean Working Conditions Survey data, the findings of this study show that working hour mismatches have negative effects on workers’ health. In particular, I find that “underemployment”-working less hours than preferred, “overemployment” -working more hours than preferred - has negative effects on workers’ health. Policies on working hours will need to take steps toward reducing working hours and increasing workers’ control over their working hours.
