Effect of Korean Rehabilitation Services on Work Resumption by Occupational Segments

Abstract

This study empirically examined how participation in the programs of Workers Compensation Insurance rehabilitation services affects the resumption of work by occupational segments. Accordingly, this study combined data from the Korean Employment Survey for Workers with Occupational Disabilities with Korea Workers Compensation and Employment Insurance Administrative Database and employed a propensity score matching method and a mixed logit model. Our empirical findings corroborate that well-targeted rehabilitation services differentiated by occupational segments are highly effective and desirable.
