This paper investigates the wage losses of displaced workers, using data from the Korean Labor & Income Panel Study. Previous Korean studies were only to estimate the wage losses shortly after job displacement. However, if the wage losses persist, those results seem to under-estimate the effects of displacement. Our findings show that the wage reductions are quite persistent 4 years after displacement. And much of this persistence can be explained by the lost labor market experience (lost opportunities to accumulate generalized skills) and additional job losses in the years following an initial displacement.

현대인들은 매일 반복되는 일상 속에서 시간의 틀을 벗어나지 못한 채 항상 바쁘고 정신없이 살아간다. 이를 극복 못하는 것은 곧 실직을 의미하며, 그것은 자신의 사회적 존재가치를 상실했다는 의미가 아닐까 생각된다. 현대 물질 문명이라는 현실의 거대한 체제 아래서 물질이 종속적으로 인간을 지배함으로서 생기는 비인간화${\cdot}$익명화${\cdot}$공허감은 누구나 한 번쯤 느끼게 된다. ‘길(Way)' 이라는 것은 인생을 하나의 상징적 의미로 표현한 것이다. 현대인들은 성공이라는 인생을 목표를 향해 뒤돌아 볼 시간도 없이 너무 빠르게 앞으로 나아간다. 인생의 종착점은 누구나 알 수 없다. ’길(Way)' 이라는 작품을 통해 바쁘게 살아가는 현대인들의 삶을 한 번 돌이켜 보고자 한다.

인간은 누구나 자기 인생과정 중 우울한 때를 만날 수 있다. 실로 인생 그 자체가 참을 수 없는 우울의 연속인지도 모른다고 느끼는 사람도 있을 수 있다. 특히 대인관계의 실패나 인생목표의 좌절, 심지어 사소한 사건에서의 실망은 곧 잘 인간에게 여러 가지 감정반응을 일으킨다. 이는 정신건강이 건전한 사람에게는 문제가 될 수 없지만 신경증인 사람에게는 자신의 안정감을 보호하기 위해 현실과 환상의 세계에서 심각한 투쟁을 하고 있다. 그러므로 신경증적인 사람이 자신의 보호에 실패하였을때 불안이나 우울의 정도가 건강한 사람보다 그 농도가 짙게 되어진다고 말할 수 있다. 특히 신경증적 우울은 저하된 자기존중이나 자기의 무가치로 특징지어지며 여러 가지 신체증상도 있고 이러한 증상들은 독립성 강퇴나 죄의식 또는 흥미저하로 이끌어 종극에는 자살을 시도하려는 경향도 나타낸다. 바로 이리한 자살로까지 이끄는 우울의 현상이 저자로 하여금 증례를 찾아 연구해 보겠다는 의욕을 만들게 한 것이다. 이 증례에서 나타난 가정과 결론은 다음과 같다. \circled1 우울반응은 Separation파 loss의 한 반응이다. \circled2 연속된 긴장, 새로운 직장 또는 반복된 실직, 부모의 어린시절의 사별. 창녀생활. 새로운 문화의 적응모국어의 기억상실. 환자의 성격 그리고 환경 등이 우울로 이끌게 한 요인들이다. \circled3 자살은 개인의 양가감정을 나타내는 매우 복잡한 심리학적 반응이다. 즉 그것은 죽고싶은 비관적인 표현일수도 있고 동시에 살고싶은 욕망의 표현일수도 있다.

Little is known about unemployment duration and re-employment pattern. This paper empirically examines unemployment duration and re-employment pattern using data by the 1998 national survey about the unemployed and their needs. A parametric survival model(Weibull model) is adopted to identify variables predicting unemployment duration. It is found that the data including people without unemployment insurance as well as people with unemployment insurance fit the Weibull model including the hazard distribution that the hazard of reemployment is increasing at an decreasing rate. Variables that affect unemployment duration are age, householdership, family income, size of prior employment organization, and cause of unemployment. In re-employment pattern, statistically significant variables are age, type of prior employment industry, prior employment pattern, and membership in unemployment insurance. This paper provides a basic knowledge about realities of unemployed individuals in the economic crisis period of Korea, identifies research areas for further research, and develops policy implications for the unemployed.

Many organizations are applying robotic process automation (RPA) to automate repetitive and rule based tasks to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of works. Some members are willing to join the projects hoping to eliminate annoying and meaningless tasks, but others are resisting this innovation fearing that they may lose their jobs. In this study, both positive and negative antecedents are posited to influence the performance in adopting RPA. The effects of relative advantage, compatibility, change management effect, innovation resistance and satisfaction, conclusively to performance improvement were examined via a survey of 109 employees involved in the 11 RPA projects in a manufacturing company, and the structural equation model analysis. The research considering the consumer characteristics of the innovation resistance model can be followed for the development of individualized change management strategy.

By analyzing 1998~2008 Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS), this study examines socio-economic characteristics of people who become poor. The study also explores the reason why they are in the state of poverty. To find determinants affecting poverty entrance, discrete-time hazard models are applied. Major findings are as follows. The socio-economic characteristics driving people into poverty are in the middle way of the long-term poor and the non-poor, combining the characteristics of both groups. This implies that many cases of the newly poor tend to enter and exit from poverty repeatedly. Poverty entry rate was at a high level right after the economic crises, then was a downturn and remained fairly stable since 2000. However, the young, the high-educated, and even the professional are on the rise as a new poverty group. The major reason people become poor is temporary job loss. This factor is confirmed again by multi-variate analyses. In building anti-poverty policies, it is important to distinguish the long-term poor from the short-term poor. For the long-term poor, virtually the only affective policy will be income support. On the other hand, a labor-market strategy for jos security will be more effective for the short-term poor. The characteristics and determinants of poverty entry may affect poverty duration and exit in the future. Future research will be needed to investigate the relationship among these factors.

This paper uses the Korean Labor Panel data to investigate changes in the employment types of male workers following their job changes with the classification of workers into three categories: regular wage workers, non-regular wage workers, and self-employed workers. It also estimates a competing-risks hazard model to analyze the determinants of employment types of workers. The results show that the type of employment of a worker at an immediate previous job has a critical importance in determining his employment type at a new job and that the types of employment at jobs other than the immediate previous job also play some role in determining the type of employment at a new job, although their impact declines as the number of intervening jobs increases. A job loser, who worked as a non-regular worker at his immediate previous job, for example, is considerably less likely to find a regular job, but more likely to get reemployed at another non-regular job than one who worked as a regular worker at his immediate previous job. Similarly, a worker who quit self-employment is much less likely to find a regular job but more likely to restart his own business than one who worked as a regular worker at his immediate previous job. These findings suggest that it is not easy at all for a worker who worked as either a non-regular worker or self-employed worker to become a regular worker, although it might be premature to assert that non-regular jobs or self-employed jobs are dead-end jobs. Another interesting finding of this analysis is that a high unemployment rate lowers a probability of reemployment at either regular jobs or self-employed jobs, but raises a non-regular job reemployment probability, which strongly implies that as labor market conditions become adverse to workers the proportion of non-regular employment can rise rapidly.
