Abstract

The paper focuses on the question of whether and how the labor underutilization indicator supplements the unemployment rate. The research is based on the differences in the labor market behavior among three groups of the not-employed; the unemployed, potential labor force and the rest of outside the labor force. The annual transition rate among the labor market states shows that the potential labor force has the explicit unmet need for employment different from the rest of the outside the labor force. The multinomial logit regression controlling the effects of individual characteristics rejects the hypothesis that the potential labor forces are behaviorally identical to the unemployed. The evidence shows that the two indices should be interpreted distinctively.

새로 분류된 잠재노동력을 유휴노동력에 포함시켜 산출한 고용보조지표와 실업률의 차이를 밝히기 위해 미취업자를 실업자, 잠재노동력 및 이외 비노동력으로 분류하고 노동시장 행태를 분석하여 분류 간 차별성 여부를 파악하였다. 노동시장 상태간 연간 이행률을 토대로 노동력 진입 및 이탈 행태에서 잠재노동력은 이외 비노동력과 다르며 일하려는 욕구가 작지 않은 유휴노동력임을 확인하였다. 인적 특성을 통제한 다항로짓모형 분석 결과는 잠재노동력과 실업자가 동일 집단이라는 가설을 기각하여 고용보조지표와 실업률을 동일 관점에서 해석할 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다.
