As you have heard, there is still a long way to go for ‘the entire National Employment Insurance’ that the President said in a third anniversary speech yesterday (10). To include special workers and freelancers in the job safety net, there are many challenges to solve when starting and who will pay the premium.
Reporter Jeong Seong-jin has reviewed this.

For workers with special employment, the social safety net of employment insurance is a long way off.

For special employment workers, it is about who and how much to pay the employment insurance premiums paid by employers and workers individually.
Special employment workers say they are actually hired by hired rig companies, etc., but the companies object that they are not ‘workers’.
Employment insurance is available, but it is also a difficult task for self-employed workers whose enrollment rate is less than 1%.
In the current system, the four main insurance programs, such as industrial accident insurance, are automatically registered when you subscribe to employment insurance.
To ensure fair charging, the system needs to be improved, such as accurately capturing income and paying premiums linked to income.

Eventually, an appropriate social compromise must be struck between considering increasing the burden on existing job insurance underwriters, considering vulnerable groups to be included in the new job safety net, and increasing the financial burden to achieve the ‘nationwide job safety net’.
