Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xA987p. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We examined how the deregulation of South Korea's labor laws during the country's 1997 to 1998 economic crisis affected occupational safety and health. Although the economic index improved after the reforms, the total injury rate declined slowly and the incidence of occupational disease increased. The withdrawal of support for occupational safety and health is likely to have a sustained effect on public health. |
