Abstract
|

|
|
Concerns over growing workless households loom large in public debate and policy discussion since the late 1990s in European and English speaking countries. However, there has been no study conducted that focuses specifically on workless households in South Korea. This study examines the distribution of work across households among working-age households using the 11-wave KOWEPS data. To do this, a measure of employment polarisation proposed by Gregg and Wadsworth is used. Counterfactual prediction rate of workless households is still lower than actual workless household rate, but the discrepancy has been narrowed. This means that distribution of work across households has become more unequal.
