The aims of this study are to clarify the reality of the educational gap and supporting policy in USA, and to get the implications for improving the educational gap in Korea. The differences of parents' academic background and income make the differences of children's academic abilities. Especially, economic income difference rather than racial difference makes education gap. This tendency has gradually been fixed problem in USA society. The United States is making efforts to alleviate the educational gap based on the ESSA, and the educational support policy for rural areas has been greatly expanded. The ESSA has more practically changed its existing support through the Rural Education Achievement Program. In order to solve the educational gap based on the U.S. case, we discussed differentiated educational goals for each region, strengthened support for marginalized areas, disparities in educational expenses by region, and regular monitoring of rural areas and schools with low educational achievement.

This study aims to grasp the key issues and the direction for digital divide research in South Korea. Based on the 488 KCI journal articles published between 2003 and 2020, the authors analyzed the changes in the number of articles per year and the subject areas of journals. Furthermore, the topic modelling and keyword network anlaysis were applied to identify the subjects of research. The main findings can be summarized as follows: first, there was a stable trend for a while after the number of articles had increased by the year of 2007, and then there has been a sharp increase since 2019. Second, digital divide research has been conducted from diverse fields including social science, multidiscipline, and engineering. Third, the six subject areas were identified which are 'digital divide among regions', 'digital divide among people with disabilities', 'technical environment of digital divide', 'divide from information use and its consequence', 'legal and institutional environments of digital divide', and 'digital divide of the elderly'. Finally, it was shown that the areas of 'divide from information use and its consequence' and 'technical environment of digital divide' have attracted attention recently.

This paper analyzes the wage structure of college professors in private institutions in Korea. An analysis of earning functions reveals that the human capital of the professors is of more general type rather than firm-specific one. It is also found that the wage differential among colleges is far greater than that within colleges. Finally, the influence of research output or the fields of study on wage is found to be small. This shows that compensation for professors is set largely independent of individual performance or labor market conditions for professors.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of economic condition of students, that is, the difference of basic information utilization ability stemming from education gap. First, we investigated information literacy for high school freshmen who can control the difference of information utilization education experience by school. In doing the research, 629 high school students in the metropolitan city were surveyed using web. we analyzed the educational gap between schools depending on their economic conditions and analyzed the correlation between education gap and basic information utilization ability. As a result, it was found that there is a very significant negative correlation between the ratio of students who get support for school expenses and basic information utilization ability. Second, regression equation was produced through regression analysis of information literacy regression to analyze the effect of educational gap on basic information literacy. In addition, it seeks to consider alternatives that can improve the inequality of information literacy which is derived from education gap.

본 연구에서는 가사노동분배에 영향을 준다고 믿어지는 결혼여부가 남녀임금격차에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 계속해서 직장에 근무하고 있는 기혼남녀와 미혼여성들의 임금수준과 인적자본의 수익들을 비교분석하였다 미국의 NLSY 데이터를 이용하여 Probit 분석과 최소자승법에 의한 회귀분석으로 자교를 분석하였으며 임금격차를 분리하는 과정은 Oaxaca(1973) 등이 사용한 절차와 같은 방법을 이용하였다 Probit 분석결가 기혼남성의 경 우 많은변수들이 지속적인 전일제 근무자가 될 가능성을 높이거나 낮추는 반면에 단지 소수의 변수들만이 기,미혼여성들에게 유의한 효과를 나타냈다 회귀분석결과 결혼여부보다는 성별관계가 임금을 낮추는 것으로 나타났으며 기혼남녀간 임금차액의 38~39%를 기혼남성과 미혼여성간 임금차액의 61~65%가 인적자본의 특성에 의해 설명되었다 본연구결과는 가정내 의 노동분배가 임금격차의 중요한 요소라는 Becker의 가설을 증명하지 못하고 있다 이는 여성의 미래 경제적지위를 염려해야 할 상당한 근거를 제시하며 인적자본의 양을 통제하였 을 때에도 임금격차가 만연하였기 때문에 인적자본의 질적인 면이 포함된 연구가 필요하다.

This paper examines the occupational gender wage gap in the Korea labor market. This paper classifies occupations into three(the blue-collar profession, white-collar profession and female-dominated profession) according to job characteristics and female worker's ratio. To analyze occupational gender wage gap, this paper uses Mincer's wage equation(1974) and Oaxaca model(1973). The results are listed below. First, the gender wage gap is growing in all occupations. Second, the cause of increasing gender wage gap varies in different occupations.

The use of smart device has changed the traditional meaning of digital divide. It has also bridged the gap between information-haves and have-nots. In contrast, some researchers insist that the dissemination of smart devices has created new digital divide different from traditional divide. In order to clarify the current status of digital divide, this research statistically analyzed correlations between the factors of digital divide and possessions of smart devices based on the survey results conducted by Pew Research Center. It was also statistically demonstrated whether the digital literacy in using smartphones affects the generation of smart divide.

As we are entering the information society, there are increasing concerns about information gaps which are believed to create serious obstacles to social integration and development. Previous studies on the information gaps in Korea, despite their contributions to our understanding of the issue, appear to be descriptive. This study attempts to analyze the relative importance of residential area, gender, age education, and household income for information gaps and their changes in recent years. Based on the data from two surveys conducted by the Information Culture Center, the study run multivariate logit model analysis of the sue of computer and internet. The result shows that all the variables except residential area have influences on the use of computer and internet. In terms of time change, gender-based difference in the use of digital media has decreased between 1998 and 2000 while the differences by all the other variables have remained constant or increased.

This paper examines the gender pay gap among doctorate holders in Korea to understand the determinants of this gap and control of its variation. A particular focus of this study is to seek to infer the extent to which this pay gap is the consequence of gender-based disparate treatment. The main results indicate that there is a sizeable gender pay gap even among workers with doctorate degrees, that is, very highly educated workers. Moreover, this gender pay gap cannot be largely explained by gender differences in characteristics, indicating the existence of discrimination against female doctorate holders in the Korean labor market.

국제해사기구의 e-navigation 개발 작업에는 사용자 중심적 서비스 제공을 위해 사용자 요구사항이 반영된 아키텍처를 먼저 개발하고 그에 따라 필요한 기술과 시스템을 개발하는 전략적 접근이 요구된다. 지난 2011년 국제해사기구의 NAV 57차 회의에서 채택한 포괄적 e-navigation 아키텍처에는 e-navigation을 지원하기 위한 선상 시스템이 선박 측에 포함되어 있으며 보다 상세한 선박 측 사용자 서비스를 정의하기 위해서는 선상시스템을 위한 세부 기술적 아키텍처 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 e-navigation 선상시스템의 기술적 아키텍처 개발을 위해 사용자 요구사항 및 격차분석 단계에서 제시된 다양한 격차와 해결책들을 분석하고 선상시스템을 위한 기술트리를 도출하여 이로부터 아키텍처를 구성할 각 모듈을 도출하였다. 또한 e-navigation 잠정 해결책과 아키텍처의 각 모듈을 비교분석하여 그 유효성을 검증하였다.
