해외투자로 인해 수출 및 고용이 감소할 것이라는 우려가 있다. 본고는 이론적, 통계적, 실증적 분석을 통하여 이에 관한 논의를 하고 향후 전망과 함께 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본고의 분석결과 및 투자제도 개선방향을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 해외투자가 아직까지 수출을 대체하였다는 근거는 없다. 향후 국내부품업체의 현지동반진출 확대, 해외자회사의 역할 증대, 국제분업생산체제의 진전 등 해외투자전략의 변화에 따라 해외투자가 수출을 대체할 가능성을 배제할 수 없으나 해외투자의 제한시에는 수출 및 고용에 더욱 악영향을 줄 수 있다. 해외투자를 제한하는 것은 예상되는 실업을 단지 연기시키는 것에 불과하며, 오히려 향후 실업문제가 훨씬 심각해질 수 있다. 해외투자는 기업의 경쟁력 유지 및 구조조정을 위해서는 타대안보다 고용안정에 기여할 수 있다. 또한 과도한 해외투자가 기업 및 국내경제에 미칠 악영향을 우려하여 해외투자를 규제하는 것도 설득력이 약하다. 정부가 해외투자의 과도성 여부를 판달할 능력이 기업보다 우월하다고 할 수 없다. 설령 해외투자 결정이 비합리적으로 이루어질 가능성이 있다 하더라도, 이 문제는 투자기업 및 여신은행 등의 책임을 분명히 하여 기업은 투자성과의 책임을 지고, 여신은행, 채권자 등은 투자기업의 재무현황 및 투자계획의 성공가능성을 고려하여 자금제공을 하도록 유도해야 한다. 따라서 일부 대규모 해외투자에 대한 사전심의로 대표되는 현행규제는 철폐되어야 한다. 일부 대규모 해외투자의 적정성 여부를 판단하기 위해 운용되고 있는 해외투자 심의는 실효성이 없을 뿐만 아니라 신속한 해외투자결정을 방해할 수 있다. 중장기적인 관점에서 해외투자로 인한 국제분업을 국내고용 및 수출의 증가뿐만 아니라 경제성장으로 연결시키기 위해서는 국내의 입지여건을 혁신활동 및 고부가가치 활동에 적합하도록 개선해 나갈 필요가 있다. 한편 단기적 고용감소에 대비한 정책도 필요한데, 고육훈련제도의 개선, 노동시장의 유연성 제고, 고용서비스 개선은 이런 마찰을 완화하는데 기여할 것이다.

The number of domestic foreign worker increased rapidly In the 90s, and Domestic foreigner worker occupied important position in the various manufacturing industries or 3D types of business. In these situation, Government had kept policy that import foreigner worker through system for industrial technology trainee. Distinction and outrage about foreign worker who have ambiguous social position made many place of business seceders. At August,2004 a new introduced employment permit system has great significance that has fundamentally and drastically changed current foreign immigrant policy from the basis. Introduction of Employment permit system is expected to affect much effects to construction industry as well as manufacturing industry and service industry. In this research, with foreign worker and information of employment permit system investigated personnel expenses, work quality and attitude, labor power supply and demand, communication to affect in construction field at employment permit system through questionnaire with field administrators. This research will remove a side effect in construction industry through administrators' awareness and wish to present confrontation way.

As unemployment rises and economic growth slows, interest in startups, which is considered to be the driving force of job creation, is increasing. This study aimed to analyze the employment effects of knowledge-based startups in South Korea. In particular, startups were divided into three categories (knowledge-based manufacturing, knowledge-based service, and other industries) and the region were divided into the capital region and the other regions. The result of the analysis, which used census on Establishments Data from Statistics Korea(KOSIS), showed that the employment effects of startups change in three steps over time. When new firms were created, employment increases instantly. However, as the competition among firms increases, some firms exit the market and employment decreases. In the long-term, some firms will survive the market competition and increase their firm size and the number of jobs they offer. The total employment effect was greater for knowledge-based startups than the other industries startups. The total employment effect of knowledge-based startups are 2.84%p for the period of 6 years. Startups in the Capital region showed higher employment effect than startups in other regions. This implies that in the capital region, employment increases more after the startups are created, but due to fierce competition, employment also decreases relatively more than it does in other regions. However, companies that survive competition create more employment. This study may give some policy implications that startup policies should be tailored to the startup's type and regional characteristics in order to achieve more effective job creation performance.

This paper incorporates the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides search and matching framework into the DSGE model. We estimate the model using a Bayesian estimation methodology on Korean data (1991:1-2020:1). Using the estimated model, we investigate the quantitative effects of wage subsidies. Wage subsidies increase matched firms' profits by reducing labor costs which leads to increases in new matches, employment and output. We find that for one percent of GDP in wage subsidies, the cumulative increase in the output level will be greater than 1 percent.

This study analyses labor transition of middle-aged and elderly in Korea utilizing Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA). Then it estimates the effects of perceived job stability for the middle-aged and elderly on poverty exit based on the age group simulation. The outcomes suggest that mid-50s and over are highly vulnerable to early retirement and they suffer from unstable employment and low possibility of re-employment. The logit analysis that simulates the effects of perceived job stability on poverty exit shows that mid-50s are more likely to get off the poverty than 65 and over when they have stable jobs. These implies that labor market policies should be designed in a tailor-made manner in consideration of the age group and its characteristics. This study also suggests the introduction of progressive labor policy measures that extends retirement age, that provides with job opportunities to middle-age and elderly, and that links employment and welfare under the umbrella of income security plan for the middle-aged and elderly.

This study aims to identify the contribution of factors to employment growth over the past 20 years (1996-2016) for seven metropolitan areas in Korea. For this purpose, we performed a multifactor partitioning (MFP) analysis based on the business survey data provided by Statistics Korea. The key findings of the analysis are as follows. First, over the long run, the region effect is dominant in metropolitan employment growth, followed by the industry mix effect. On the other hand, the dynamic MFP findings suggests that future regional employment disparities are likely to be explained by industry structure. Second, the gender mix and decent job mix effect do not significantly contribute to regional employment growth. However, the contributions of individual factors are not invalid, and it is possible to infer a pattern of declining employment for men-permanent workers and increasing employment for women-contingent workers. These results indicate the importance and necessity of employment policies that can promote structural transition in regional industries and qualitative growth accompanied by employment stability.

This paper attempted to analyze the presidential archives of the participatory government in the labor and employment policy secretary's office. This approach is meaningful in that it provides basic data for evaluating presidential records and facilitating their use. Furthermore, evaluation of participatory government labor policies can help create a research environment based on archives. This paper also focused on the evidence value of document management cards that can confirm the entire decision-making process. This is an eloquence of the quality of the participatory government presidential archives.

In the era of low growth, many provincial cities are experiencing population decline and aging. Population decline phenomena such as reduction of productive manpower, reduction of finances, deterioration of quality of life, and collapse of the community base are occurring in a chain and are being pushed to the brink of extinction of the cities. This study aims to propose a methodology to objectively estimate the employment creation centers and setting the basic unit of industrial-centered zoning by applying spatial statistical techniques and GIS for the application of the compact city plan as an efficient spatial management policy in a city with a declining population. In details, based on reviewing previous studies on compact city, 'employment complex index(ECI)' were defined considering the number of workers, the number of settlers, and the area of development land, the employment creation center was estimated by applying the 'Local Moran's I' and 'Getis-Ord's Hot-Spot Analysis'. As a case study, changes in the four years of 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 were compared and analyzed for Changwon City. As a result, it was confirmed that the employment creation center is becoming compacted and polycentric, which is a significant result that reflects the actual situation well. This results provide the basic data for functional and institutional territorial governance for the regional revitalization platform, and provide meaningful information necessary for spatial policy decision-making, such as population reduction, regional gross domestic product, and public facility arrangement that can respond to energy savings, transportation plans, and medical and health plans.

The value chain of a country is achieved in cooperation with other countries. Accordingly, the international technical cooperation in the field of R&D is known to be one of the innovation strategies. But the efforts on research in the international technological cooperation is lacking in Korea. Europe expects technological progress in the industrial area in order to create employment in the near future but Science and Technology Research should also create this endeavor for the future. EU recognizes that the current trend of scientific and technological research will have a negative impact on future job creations in Europe. Therefore EU has developed the 2020 strategy. The purpose of this paper is to seek the technological cooperation policy especially on the basis of the EU's 2020 strategy. In accordance with the results of this paper, our government will pursue future EU FP 8 policy to be developed on the basis of EU's 2020 strategy.

This paper is about the part-time work and related polices in Netherland, which increased the employment rate for the past 30 years with part-time job creation. Netherland has been successful in making part-time 'good' jobs. There were many factors which contributed to increaing part-time jobs such as market, institution, policies, and industrial relations. There was virtuous cycle between increase in the supply of female labor power and increase in the demand for part-time worker in the labor market. The policies were reinforced which protect part-time workers, introduced the incentive system which was favorable to part-time wokres, guaranteed the right to select working hours to workers. Particularly, the labor market, institutions and policies were created in the midst of the social dialogue. As the polder model has been persisted for almost 30 years, the switch to full-time work or long working-hour model would not be possible. As the poler model is a very specific model based on the Netherland's own social conditions, it is not easy to copy and transplant in other countries.
