To investigate the relationship between employment changes including sustained precarious employment (PE) and poor self-rated health (SRH) in young Korean adults. Methods: A longitudinal study was performed using follow-up data from the Korea Youth Panel Survey 2007 (3rd-12th). Overall, 1265 young adults were included. Multiple logistic regression analyses estimated the poor SRH risk according to employment changes.
Poor SRH risk was significantly higher in sustained PE than in fulltime permanent employment in young male adults and overall. However, in young female adults, PE was not clearly associated with poor SRH risk.
The proportion of new cases of poor SRH was increased by PE, particularly in young male workers. This finding emphasizes the importance of improving the health of young workers with PE and employment quality for young people vulnerable to PE.
探讨韩国年轻成年人就业变化(包括持续不稳定就业和较差的自我健康评估)与较差自我健康评估之间的关系。方法:使用 2007 年韩国青年小组调查(第 3-12 次)的随访数据进行纵向研究。共纳入 1265 名年轻成年人。采用多因素逻辑回归分析估计就业变化与较差自我健康评估风险之间的关系。结果:与全职长期就业相比,持续不稳定就业显著增加了年轻男性和整体人群较差自我健康评估的风险。然而,在年轻女性中,不稳定就业与较差自我健康评估风险之间没有明显的关联。结论:不稳定就业增加了较差自我健康评估的新发病例比例,尤其是在年轻男性工人中。这一发现强调了改善不稳定就业的年轻工人健康状况和提高不稳定就业人群的就业质量的重要性。
