"Is It Okay Without Early-Morning Delivery?" Survey of 1,000 Office Workers Yields Surprising Results

[The Financial News] Two out of three office workers say they are willing to tolerate inconveniences in daily life, such as the suspension or reduction of early-morning delivery services, if restrictions are placed on night work.
Gabjil 119 commissioned polling firm Global Research to conduct a survey of 1,000 office workers aged 19 or older nationwide from February 2 to 8. The results were released on the 29th. The survey has a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points.
According to the survey, 67.7% of respondents answered "yes" when asked whether they would be willing to endure inconveniences in daily life if night work were restricted.
A total of 80.6% agreed that "night work has a negative impact on workers' health and safety."
When asked to weigh the value of night-time services, more respondents prioritized worker protection. While 63.0% said "workers' right to health and their safety are more important," only 17.9% answered that "consumer convenience is more important."
Gabjil 119 stated that these findings show social consensus on the dangers of night work has already reached a high level, and argued that this should now lead to concrete policy changes.
Yoo Seon-woo, a labor attorney at Gabjil 119, said, "We need regulations that, as a rule, prohibit night work and allow it only as an exception," adding, "We can no longer tolerate a situation where workers' health is traded away for someone else's convenience."
