Even though the Fixed-Term and Part-Time Workers Act has been enforced for almost ten years, it is doubtful about the achievement of its original purpose of legislation. Currently, the issue of non-regular workers is socially more emphasized. On top of fixed-term workers, especially in case of part-time workers belonging to the representative non-regular workers, most of them are working for part-time job to make money as they cannot get full-time job. Actually, the number and rate of them are increasing every year. Also, recently, there are more and more people who want part-time job for diverse reasons like study, childcare, employment preparation, retirement preparation, and personal leisure life. However, the social interest and necessity to protect them have been relatively neglected compared to fixed-term workers. The current laws or institutions do not include satisfactory measures to improve part-time workers' employment instability and poor conditions of employment. The concept of part-time worker has not been even clearly established yet. Also, the current system does not fully guarantee the opportunity of part-time workers desiring for full-time job, and also full-time workers who like to change to part-time job due to personal reasons. Moreover, it would be necessary to reexamine many issues such as the irrational and limited application of all sorts of employment conditions like wage compared to part-time workers' working hours under the current laws, and also the fact that all sorts of legislative regulations about part-time workers including their overtime and conditions of employment which could be the most important part of conditions of employment related to part-time job are divided into several laws. Thus, this study aims to examine part-time workers' poor conditions of employment by getting out of the existing viewpoint focusing on the protection of fixed-term workers, and also to reexamine the problems and improvement measures of the protection system for part-time workers under the current Fixed-Term and Part-Time Workers Act.
