Ministry of Employment, Emergency subsidies for job security, Publication of statistics
High and pre-Covid-19 special income decreased by 69.0%
“The most vulnerable in the social safety net … Expanding employment insurance”
It is also possible to take advantage of the system while transferring special high schools and workers.
Advertise countermeasures to prevent fraud / repetitive supply and demand is reduced.
Income of self-employed and special workers who received emergency subsidies was estimated to have decreased by 69% on average compared to before the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). It is necessary to expand the social safety net for the special secondary school and the self-employed, but some point out that 22% of the beneficiaries of the subsidy have transferred to salaried workers, so measures are needed to prevent moral damage.
According to the “Statistical Analysis of Corona 19 Emergency Job Security Grant Recipients” published by the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 2nd, out of 1,756,000 applicants, the number of charter and special secondary schools was 587,000 . The Emergency Employment Stability Support Fund is a project that provides 1.5 million won to self-employed, special high schools, self-employed, and unpaid graduates whose income declined due to Corona 19 in June and July.
Of the 587,000 self-employed and special high school applicants, about 500,000 received grants, and when comparing their earnings before and after Corona 19, the average reduction rate reached 69.1%. The average rate of decrease of the first income quintile was 75.6%, 20% less than that of the seventh quintile (55.6%), which shows that the income quintile and the amount of decrease were in direct proportion. Lee Ji-young, head of the Employment Security Emergency Support Division of the Ministry of Employment and Employment Response to Corona 19, said: “Some of the occupations with a high rate of income decline are not the main sources income from households such as visiting teachers, substitute drivers and door-to-door salespeople. ” I will do everything possible to pass the National Assembly of National Employment Insurance. “
However, it is also stated that moral damage in the supply and demand of job search benefits should be avoided. Among the beneficiaries of special specialty, 22.0% of the beneficiaries had a history of affiliation to employment insurance during the last three years. It means that 110,000 out of 500,000 have worked as wage earners, which means that it is difficult to clearly distinguish the characteristics of general and special secondary workers.
When natural employment insurance is implemented for special high school, it is expected that it will be easier to receive job search benefits by changing the way of special high school and salaried workers. For special notices, employment insurance premiums must be paid for 12 months, but for salaried workers, only 180 days are required. For example, after working as a express service driver for about 4 months, after working part-time at a convenience store and filling 180 days, you can receive job search benefits.
Since special high schools can receive unemployment benefits even if they change jobs due to income reduction, there may be cases where they deliberately cause a decrease in income after switching to a special worker after working as a salaried worker. There is the possibility that there are cases where only the merits of each system are inferred. In the end, measures to prevent the fraudulent and repeated receipt of job search benefits and ‘National Employment Insurance’ should be promoted together, but the time of the announcement of countermeasures has not been specified.
An official from the Ministry of Labor explained, “In the case of a special high school, there is a burden such as having to buy trucks and motorcycles on your own, so there are not many cases of converting the relationship between employment contracts to receive job search benefits. ”.
