Abstract

|
|
The recognition that public expenditure is not gender neutral has produced gender analyses of budget and alternative budgeting. In this context, this paper aims to examine gender inequity of worker"s compensation premium and suggest alternative ways of insurance expenditure. For the purpose of the paper, raw data of Worker"s compensation insurance premium and three different existing data are analysed.
Women"s convalescing duration is shorter and expenditure is higher than men"s. In both occupation-related injuries and diseases, women"s proportion of non-reporting to Worker"s compensation insurance or being beneficiaries of National Health Plan rather than Worker"s compensation Insurance is higher than that of men. In addition, the proportion of excluded from the existing Worker"s compensation insurance shows gender difference. Various alternatives regarding changing Worker"s compensation insurance scheme are suggested.
