Abstract

Interest about the effect of military service is increasing because of the renewal of military service incentive system in Korea. In the background, men has been experienced which suffer monetary and non-monetary damages through the compulsory military service in Korea. However there are few studies that analyze the labor market effect of military service. This study takes advantage of male worker's data of 10th KLIPS(Korea Labor & Income Panel Survey) in 2007 and analyze the wage effect of military service. According to empirical result using Mincerian earnings function, the positive effect of military service appeared. These result shows men who finished military duty have an monetary advantage in Korean labor market unlike general perceptions on military service.

최근 군가산점제도의 부활에 관련되어 군 복무의 효과에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그 배경에서는 우리나라 남성들이 군 복무를 통해 금전적, 비금전적 손실을 입는다는 인식이 깔려 있다. 그러나 군 복무가 노동시장에 미치는 효과를 분석한 실증연구는 거의 없다. 이에 본 연구는 2007년 제10회 한국노동패널조사의 남성 임금근로자 자료를 활용하여 군 복무가 임금결정에 미치는 영향을 실증분석한다. 일반적인 민서형( Mincerian) 임금함수 추정을 통해 군복무의 임금효과를 추정한 결과, 유의적인 정(+)의 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 일반적인 인식과 달리 군 복무가 노동시장에서 긍정적인 효과를 나타내고 있다는 점을 보여준다.
