Abstract

The Seoul City Government has adopted the Seoul-Type Paid Sick Leave Policy (hereinafter Seoul Sick Leave) in 2019, which is the first publically-funded sickness benefit program adopted in the Republic of Korea. The Seoul Sick Leave protects the precariously employed and the dependent self-employed without paid leave for their income loss due to hospitalizations. The study aims to apply a logic model to evaluate the effectiveness and delivery process of a new social security program for workers without the sickness leave. The logic model for the Seoul Paid Sick Leave consists of design, inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, and 17 indicators.
The evaluation was conducted with complex social intervention methods using questionnaire surveys, and focus group interview, and by analyzing of administrative data of Seoul. All candidates, whether they were beneficiaries or not were satisfied with the program. The program were expected to help precarious workers maintain their livelihood and access medical service in right time. However, the application rate was low, which might be due to the low accessibility of the program’s strict eligibility criteria and limited popular recognition. Efforts should be made to improve accessibility of the program to better serve its target population. This study is meaningful in that it is the first study to evaluate the initial effect of the only public sickness benefit system in Korea.
