This paper examines why older wage workers leave their jobs and what determine the hazard of retirement. Major results are as follows. First, aged workers leaving their jobs because of formal mandatory retirement are relatively few in number and largely males employed in large establishments. Second, a higher hourly wage is associated with a greater retirement hazard, especially among male employees of large firms. Third, informal mandatory retirement puts a strong pressure towards retirement among older female workers. Fourth, poor health is the primary reason for retirement among older workers, especially for females and small-firm employees. Finally, reasonable hours and greater flexibility of work tend to lower retirement hazard. We discuss some implications of the results for old-age labor market policies.

The purpose of this study is to examine the availability of family-friendly systems for female workers with children under elementary school, and to verify that the availability of family-friendly systems can mitigate the negative effects of workplace-home conflicts on family and work-life satisfaction. To this end, data of 538 female employees with children younger than elementary school students were analyzed using the sixth data of the Korean Women Manager Panel. According to the analysis, the type of family-friendly system such as time flexibility system, career flexibility system, and worker support system all showed significant adjustment effect in relation to workplace-family conflict and work life satisfaction. The career flexibility system was the only one that showed a control effect on family life satisfaction. To help talented female workers work for their children without severing their careers, the government proposed active support for businesses and the government to help them use the family-friendly system.

우리나라는 IMF 체제하의 경제악화로 기업의 구조조정이 가속화되어 근로자 감축으로 인한 작업강도가 오히려 증대되으나, 안전관리자 의무고용 완화, 기업규제완화에 관한 특별 조치법 시행 등 안전보건의 약화요인이 발생되어 사업장 내에서 사고발생 가능성이 높아졌으며, 또한 노동시장의 유연화에 따른 안전지식이 부족한 비정규 근로자의 증가로 인해 대형사고 위험성이 증대되고 있다.(중략)

The self-employment can provide work time flexibility. Work time flexibility would be a critical factor for married females' labor supply considering allocation of their time to market work and household work. This study used the 1998 and 2000 Korea Labor and Income Panel Survey for the empirical analyses. Applying the bivariate probit model with partial observability, this study analyzed factors related to the choice of participation in labor market and choice of self-employment. Also, this study examined the effects of marriage and the presence of younger children on changes in decisions related to labor supply using the multinomial logit model: exit from the labor market, increasing and decreasing work hours. The presence of the younger children showed a significantly negative effect on the participation in labor market while positive, but insignificant, effect on self-employment. Compared with females working for others, self-employers without employees and unpaid family workers are less likely to exit labor market rather than increasing work hours. The self-employment would be a good alternative to evade females' career interruption and therefore to enhance the potential human resources.

According to the survey results on non-standard employment, most of the non-standard workers are women and work at service jobs and some jobs that do not require firm-specific skill. Also wages of non-standard workers appear to be lower than those of standard workers by 10~19%. Non-standard workers are very much likely to be excluded from beneficiaries of economic growth because job contents and ability are not important relatively as criteria in determining their basic wage and their benefits are also much lower in severance pay and bonuses, vacations, 4 social insurances, education and training opportunities. Because of very low rate of union membership, the working conditions of non-standard workers are not expected to be improvable easily by unions. It seems that the reason of the demand increase for non-standard workers is mainly because not only an individual establishment demands quantitative flexibility in employment, but also there are tendencies of being smaller in establishment size and of growing service industries macro-economically. The number of non-standard workers are expected to increase continuously in the future, too.

This study has sought to analyze factors affecting work and work preference of older adults at national and individual level. A few theoretical hypotheses such as economic need versus job opportunity (or employability), attitude toward paid work, pull effect versus push effect were tested for citizens in eighteen OECD countries with International Social Survey dataset(2005) using multi-level analysis. Main findings are as follows. First, most older adults wanted to work regardless of the socio-economic status, which implies that non-work of older adults would be due to involuntary constraint rather than voluntary choice. Second, there existed class inequality in that the higher class tended to involve paid work more than the lower class did among 55-64 age group. Third, the push factor such as part-time employment ratio, rather than the generosity of social security, explained the work and retirement patterns better. In conclusion, at least from the comparative perspective, the main problem of older adults' work seems to be of labour demand rather than of labour supply, to be of labour market structure and work opportunity rather than of the pull factor.

조직의 경쟁력 확보차원에서 공공부문에 도입한 유연근무제가 제도시행 2년차에 접어들었다. 근로자들에게 일하는 시간과 장소에 있어서 유연성을 제공하게 되어 일-가족 양립이라는 현실적인 문제가 해결되었다. 그 결과 근로자의 직무만족과 사기진작으로 이어지면서 생산성 향상에 많은 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유연근무제도 도입 첫 해인 2010년도 중앙 및 지방자치단체 운영현황을 분석한 결과 근무유형별로는 시차 출퇴근제가 90.5%로 가장 높은 비중을 차지하였고, 신청사유별로는 여가 자기계발, 출퇴근 편의, 효율적 업무수행, 임신 육아 순이 20%내외로 고루 분포되었다. 남녀의 비율별로는 남성이 63.3%, 여성이 36.4%로 전체공무원 남녀비율과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 제도시행 초기인 점을 고려하여 설문을 통하여 운영현황을 점검하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 법령 제도상 문제점과 공직문화 내부 장애요인을 도출한 후 SWOT chart 분석기법을 통해 향후 활성화 방안 및 추진계획을 제시하였다. 특히, IT기술의 발달로 인한 시간과 장소에 얽매이지 않고 언제 어디서나 일할 수 있는 선진화된 근무방식인 스마트워크의 확충 필요성과 활성화 방안에 대한 구체적인 추진계획도 제시하였다.
