The introduction of workers’ compensation insurance (“WCI”) scheme in South Korea (“S. Korea”) dates back to the time when a military junta, so-called Supreme Council for National Reconstruction (“SCNR”) pushed a new governmental regime through, not so long since the end of the Korean War. At that time, few people had an understanding of the scheme. Majority of Koreans did not expect that it would significantly contribute to the development of the economy. Rather, many of them went as far as to believe that the Government tried to use it to compensate for deficient budgets.
Though it was almost impossible to collect even the premiums, a standing advisory council under the SCNR decided to introduce the scheme in 1964 to protect both employers and industrially-injured workers (“IIWs”), an act of reckless courage.
The scheme, as the first social insurance scheme ever introduced in S. Korea, is characterized by “no-fault” rule and public liability, functioning as policy insurance with limited compensation liability. (The rest omitted)
