This paper studies the characteristics of the restructuring of chemical industrial complex in JiLin city since 1978 focusing on enterprise organization, the process of production, labor, and consumer market. The number of chemical industrial enterprises and their partnership with subcontractors have increased since 2001. As for the type of cooperation group, research institutes and local government are accounted for the greatest portion. The chemical industrial enterprise in JiLin which has adopted Fordism production method still has the highest percentage in 2007. And in the shift process of production system after China's entry into WTO(in 2001), chemical industrial enterprise in JiLin city takes allowing more investment in production technologies as core strategy, while taking improvement in equipment and development of new products as core strategy in the shift process of production technology. The degree of labor re-education was highest in 2007, and as for the relationship between labor and management, enterprises which evaluate the ability of performance of duty are increasing. The characteristics of restructuring of chemical industrial complex on consumer market, domestic market accounted for the greatest portion, on the other side the export is feeble. As for strategy of market restructuring, industrial enterprise in JiLin city should use Quality improvement and high-value added as core strategies to cope with alteration of market.

Technology innovation of digital convergence in recent years of the media sector has produced a series of significant changes in journalist labor. This study analyzes how recent introduction of convergent newsroom changed the nature of journalist labor and what strategy the management used to control journalists within the technologically innovated working condition with case of CBS. As the labor process theory tells us, the analysis found that technological innovation in the newsroom has encouraged a couple of aspects regarding labor process. First, losing control over their own labor journalists have undergone the process of significant deskilling. Second, the management have made a constant effort to introduce ideological and political apparatuses with twofold purposes, effective control over workers on one hand and concealing oppressive labor conditions on the other. The effort generated journalists' acceptance of new news-making routine and their consent on labor-management culture founded upon naive familism, which at last resulted in reinforcement of corporate power and isolation of labor society by separating internal labor market.

I describe the complex support systems around the world, focusing on their importance for economic growth and fiscal sustainability. Familial transfers for old age support are somewhat significant in some Asian economies including Korea, although they deteriorate quite rapidly. Public transfer systems are less significant in Korea compared with most OECD member countries. This is important because Korea has had the opportunity to develop sustainable systems less encumbered by obligations made to current and future generations. Relying on accumulated assets rather than transfers helped countries create capital-intensive economies that can maintain standards of living. This is true for Korea, but the question of how the labor and capital market will respond to the rapidly changing social welfare system remains as a critical question.

We are facing major changes such as an aging population along with the 4th industrial revolution based on ICT technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, autonomous driving, and factory automation. For the local governments that are indexed in high population extinction risk, it is essential to consider market expansion and re-education policies suitable for regional characteristics in order to respond to changes such as advanced industrial automation and population aging. For the reemployment of the elderly, we will analyze previous public strategies for elderly-friendly jobs, expand investment in age-friendly industries. In this study, we suggest to improvement direction of the elderly labor market in Cheonan-Si.

This paper investigates how real wages adjust to regional and cyclical shocks in the Korean labor market. Major findings are as follows. First, like most longitudinal studies in this literature, we find that real wages are strongly procyclical and more procyclical for men than for women. Second, consistent with the theory prediction of efficiency wages, both permanent and transitory components of real wages are negatively correlated with the local unemployment rate. Third, when overall and local unemployment rates compete in a wage equation (our preferred specification), current wages are dominantly affected by the overall rate, and the effect of the local rate is rather small. This rejects the Blanchflower and Oswald's hypothesis that wages are primarily determined by local labor market conditions. Finally, no lagged effects on wages are detected in the overall or local unemployment rate.

This paper estimates the employment effects among 55~59 years old men of delayed mandatory retirement act between 2016 and 2019. Although the positive employment effects appear to have reclined during the period, they have remained non-trivial and may have encroached youth employment. The results suggest that wages should be flexibly adjusted in the market so that labor demand can sufficiently expand to accommodate the increased labor supply among the old without hurting the young.

매년 사업주와 근로자로부터 상담한 내용을 돌아보면 우리 사회 노동시장의 현안이 무엇인지, 인권수준은 어떠한지, 노동행정의 방향이 어떠한지를 확연히 체감하게 된다. 그 중 하나가 육아휴직제도이다. 20년 전만 하더라도 육아휴직은 거의 허용되지 않았다. 결혼 또는 임신하면 퇴직이 관행이던 시절이었다. 관행에도 불구하고 임신한 근로자가 퇴직하지 않으면 출 퇴근이 어려운 지방으로 배치전환하거나, 직무를 변경하고, 담배연기 가득한 방 가운데 여성근로자를 근무시키는 비인간적인 처사도 행해졌다. 2~3년 전만 하더라도 "우리 회사는 육아휴직은 안된대요. 그럴바엔 그만두래요. 아이 맡길 곳도 만만치 않은데 어쩌면 좋아요"라는 여성근로자들의 상담이 한달에도 몇 건씩 쏟아져 나왔었다. 초기 여성노무사가 소수이다 보니 워킹맘들의 노동법률상담을 할 기회가 많았다. 때론 사업주들을 설득하고, 중재하고, 처벌조항을 들어 압박하기도 하면서 육아휴직을 권장했지만 기존의 관행과 문화가 일시에 변화하기는 어려운 일이다. 여성의 경제활동율이 늘어나고 출산율이 줄어들면서 정책적으로 출산 및 육아휴직을 장려하는 정부의 감독행정 강화, 그간 노동계 및 시민사회단체의 노력 등으로 인해 법률에 규정된 육아휴직제도가 비로소 현실적으로 보장되어가고 있음을 목도한다. 이즈음에 육아휴직자의 연차휴가 사용, 퇴직금, 육아휴직급여 등에 대한 문의가 많은데 그만큼 육아휴직자가 늘어났다는 것을 반증하는 결과이다. 따라서 이번호에서는 출산휴가 및 육아휴직자들의 연차휴가 사용과 퇴직금 산정방법, 출산 육아휴직급여에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 사회, 경제, 교육, 제도 등의 변화 분석을 통해 세계화와 미래화를 위한 노동시장의 변화에 대해 예측하고 미래 산업의 효율적 운영 관리방안 마련 및 시스템적 접근방법을 통한 무한 경쟁체제의 경쟁력 강화 방안 마련하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 산업분석에 대한 계산은 근거와 신뢰성에 대한 의견이 제시될 수 있으나 본 연구에서 고려하고자 한 것은 산업 간의 포지셔닝 계수라는 것을 언급하고자 한다. 결국 포터가 제시한 방법론을 적용은 각 산업 간의 포지셔닝 결정을 위한 상대적 가치 계산이지 산업에 절대적 계산이 아니다.

본 연구는 우리나라의 출산율 하락 현상을 경제학적 관점에서 분석한다. 우리나라의 출산율 하락은 출산연령의 상승 및 출산여성의 고학력화를 수반하고 있다. 합계출산율의 하락을 유발하는 두 요인인 완결출산율의 하락과 출산시기의 연장 중 완결출산율은 완만히 하락하고 있는 것으로 추정되며 최근의 급속한 출산율 하락세를 설명하기에는 부족하다. 출산여성의 고학력화에 따른 출산시기의 연장은 합계출산율의 변화 방향과는 일치하나 역시 최근의 급속한 출산율 하락을 설명하기에는 충분하지 않다. 다만 이 요인은 향후 합계출산율의 반등 가능성을 시사한다. 그러므로 최근의 급속한 출산율 하락은 출산시기의 연장에 기인하였을 가능성이 높으며 그 중요한 요인은 여성 노동시장의 변화일 것으로 추정된다. 이 부분에 관한 본 연구의 분석은 충분하지 않으나 고학력 여성의 취업률 증가, 임금-연령 곡선의 상승에 의한 출산시기 지연의 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper attempts to find out the economic roots of the increasing tendency not to choose the science and engineering (S&E) fields in the colleges. The analysis shows that the relative economic position of the S&E graduates measured in terms of employment quality is not significantly different from that of the non-S&E graduates. But the S&E graduates earn relatively low wage and self-employment income. Furthermore, the relative income of the top 5% bracket of the S&E graduates has been declining in the recent five years. The paper concludes that low relative income of the average S&E graduates as well as the increasingly lower relative income of the most able S&E personnel, coupled with the increasing compensating differential required for the S&E jobs, is the main reason for the 'avoidance' phenomenon of the S&E fields.
