Currently, persons in special types of employment and artists are exposed to the risk of unemployment, and thus they critically need social and economic protection. However, they are not eligible for employment insurance because there is no separate provision for them in the Employment Insurance Act. Accordingly, the amendment aims to protect persons in special types of employment and artists by applying employment insurance to them so that they are able to secure their lives and be re-employed early if they are unemployed, and to collect the employment insurance premiums by accordingly revising the Act on the Collection of Insurance Premiums, etc. for Employment Insurance and Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance.

Require persons in special types of employment and artists who are subject to the Employment Insurance Act to obligatorily join the employment insurance, and impose business owners and labor-providing platform business owners the duty to report insurance relations (Article 5, Article 11, and Article 11-2 newly inserted)
