This study analyzes the effects of life course events and labor market conditions on the duration of career interruption among Korean women. The data were drawn from 'A Survey on the Women's Employment Interruption in Korea' conducted by the Korean Ministry of Gender Equality in 2009(currently the Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family). This study categorizes the duration of career interruption into three categories: (1) short term interruption(less than 12months), (2) short-medium term interruptio(12-35 months), (3) intermediate term interruption(36-59 months), (4) long term interruption(longer than 36 months), and then analyzes how demographic factors, labor market condition, and life events shape the timing of re-entry into the labor market among women. According to the findings, the jobs that are conducive to combining market work and mother's role expedite women's return to the labor market. Further, the younger, higher the level of human capital, and higher monthly wages that women earned before leaving the labor market, women are likely to experience short-term interruption(less than 12 months) rather than long-term interruption(longer than 60 months). Women who left from the labor market to care for kids are also likely to return to the labor market. However, women who have preschoolers are likely to experience long-term career interruption. These findings highlight the role of family supportive culture at the workplace in order for women to continue their employment while intensive family formation period. Furthermore, the finding that the discriminatory practices against women, in particular mother workers at the workplace lead women to exit from the market work calls for attention to establish family friendly workplace.

This study explores the characteristics and discourse of creative work in advertising and investigates women's work experience and their problem. This will reconfirm the characteristics of advertising as creative labour. For this, it conducts in-depth interviews and analyzes them through a theoretical detour and a thick description. The study found the dominant discourse that creativity is their duty and ultimate goal. This dominant discourse makes the gendering of creative roles and representation languished. In spite of this, female creators with parenting have difficulty in reducing work ability, because conflicting identities weaken their self-regulation. This means that advertising is 'self-regulationized' labour.

Purpose : To analyze how the Fourth Industrial Revolution affects the gender gap. Method : This study regressed the relationship between ICT development index, network Readiness index and gender gap in 145 countries all over the world. Results : The ICT development index was not statistically significant, but the network readiness index was positively correlated with female labor participation rate and gender wage equality ratio, indicating that the progress of the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution increased female participation in labor but the wage gap has been shown to intensify. Conclusion : The results verify the hypothesis that the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution led by the information and communication revolution affects the labor market conditions of women.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether "the feminization of poverty" is under process in Korea and what factors are key determinants of these trends. The Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from 1998 to 2005 is used and the sample includes all individuals who aged 18 or more. The results show that the feminization of poverty is still under process since 1998 and the economic status of females is getting worse compared to their counterparts. Regarding the causes of these trends, the level of education and type of employment are significant predictors for explaining the feminization of poverty in cross-sectional data analysis. In the longitudinal analysis, however, the number of persons in households and the number or working persons have significant influences on the feminization of poverty. It is urgently necessary to enact social policies preventing discriminations against females in the labor markets and to introduce social welfare benefits for females based on citizenship. In addition, the welfare benefits for the elderly are also necessary because their economic status is the worst among all age groups.

This study contributes to understanding women's labor market behavior by focusing on a particular set of labor force transitions - labor force withdrawal and entry during the period surrounding the first birth of a child. In particular, this study provides a dynamic analyses, using longitudinal data and event history analysis, to conceptualize labor force behaviors in a straightforward way. The main research question addresses which factors increase or decrease the hazard rates of leaving and entering the labor market. This study used piecewise Gompertz model, following the guide of the non-parametric analysis on the hazard rates, which allowed relatively detailed description on the distribution of timing of leave and entry to the labor market as parameters of interest. The results show that preferences and structural variables, as well as economic considerations, are very important factors to explain the labor market behavior of women in the period surrounding childbirth.

인쇄기기의 경우 인쇄속도가 시간당 1만장2만장을 넘어섰다. 인쇄속도가 빨라지는 만큼 인쇄용지도 점점 고급화되고 있다. 이처럼 인쇄에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 환경은 점점 고급화되고 있는 반면 인쇄근로자들의 근무환경은 그 속도를 따라가지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 아직까지도 대부분의 업체들이 인쇄작업을 할 때 많은 노동력을 필요로 하고 있다. 기계작동시에는 큰 문제가 없으나 물건이송이나 종이 뒤집기 작업 등에서 고강도의 노동력을 필요로 하기 때문에, 남성 직원만을 뽑을 수 밖에 없다. 하지만 유럽의 경우 여성들이 인쇄사에서 작업을 하는 것을 종종 볼 수 있다. 이 같은 현상은 많은 보조기구들이 있어 여성 혼자 작업을 해도 무리가 없기 때문이다. 우리나라에서도 이러한 작업환경개선을 위해 다양한 노력들이 시도되고 있다. 그중의 하나가 노동부의 고용환경개선지원금과 한국산업안전공단의 클린사업지원, 근골격지원, 유해환경해소 사업 등이 그것이다. 이에 본지에서는 노동부와 한국산업안전공단에서 진행하고 있는 노동환경개선을 위한 사업들에 대해 알아보고, 인쇄사에 보조기기를 납품하고 있는 업체와 실제 보조기기를 사용하고 있는 업체를 만나보았다.

This paper aims to examine the effects of increase in childcare subsidy on time allocation of women, particularly low- and moderate-income women with pre-school children. For the purpose, the study adopts seemingly unrelated tobit and analyses data from the 2004 and 2009 Time Use Survey Data of the National Statistical Office. First of all, the results reveal that the policy changes in childcare subsidy affect time allocation of low- and moderate-income women with pre-school children, which increases paid-work whereas decreases caregiving and housework in a daily life. The results show that the changes take place in accordance with the goals of childcare subsidy promoting women's employment and reducing women's burden of caregiving. Yet the study has a couple of limitations- the only marginally significant impact in several variables, little effect on time allocation of all women- for the generalization of the findings. Nevertheless, the results indicate that employment policies for women, particularly for mothers, and the provision of childcare services should be improved to maximize the positive effects of increase in childcare subsidy.

Using the fourth data of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), this paper analyzed sexual differences in the promotion possibility and the promotion experience. Effects on wage of the promotion possibility and the promotion experience have been also discussed in detail. The promotion probability of a male worker in his current job is as high as twice than that of a female worker after controlling other independent variables. However, if we restrict the analysis to workers who either can be or was promoted, the sexual difference in the promotion possibility is greatly narrowed. This result suggests that the continuous career development without disruption is critical for the promotion of female workers. Analysing the sexual difference in wage using Oaxaca and Ransom's methodology, explanatory variables, such as human capital, residential area, etc., explained 69.5% of wage difference between male and female workers. Especially, 13.9% of wage difference was contributed to sexual differences in the promotion possibility and the promotion experience. This kind of empirical result emphasized once again the importance of promotion on wage.
