Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sickness benefit, neither Korea nor United State does not have among the 36 OECD countries, is a public social security system that guarantees income for the loss of workers’ ability to work due to injury or disease. In this study, we design the models for sickness benefit that could be introduced to Korea by comparing and analyzing the system of sickness benefit in OECD countries and estimate the number of people eligible and the budget required for each model. The results of analysis using the data of insurance eligibility, medical expenses, and tax service is that the requirement of public finance for the sickness benefit will cost at least 805billion won to 1.77trillion won depending on the level of guarantee to 1.65million people who are over 15 and have been hospitalized over 3 days. The study is expected to serve as the basis for the political decisions for the introduction of sickness benefit scheme in Korea.
