OBJECTIVES: This study explored the effect of employment status on mortality over a 13-year period in Korean men. METHODS: Data were used from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from 1999 to 2012. This study started with 2,737 subjects and included employed men in good health, aged 30-69 years. Deaths were tracked for 13 years from 2000 to 2012. Employment status classifications were: (1) regular employees, (2) precarious employees, (3) petty bourgeoisie, and (4) employ-ers. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model, and were adjusted for age, education, in-come, and occupation, with regular employees as the reference category. To examine the effect of employment status and in-clude employment history, the risk ratios of mortality were measured using the Poisson regression model, considering the dura-tion of each employment and using 0 years as the reference category. RESULTS: Over the course of the 13-year study, being a precarious employee (HR, 1.84) or petty bourgeoisie (HR, 1.87) at a particular point in time had a negative effect on mortality when compared with regular employees. Furthermore, working as precarious employees or petty bourgeoisie had no positive effect on mortality. A positive effect was observed, however, on the overall mortality risk for regular employees. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that a healthy social policy is needed for precarious employees and petty bourgeoisie to avoid disadvantages in the workplace and the social safety net.
