  • 2001학년도 자연계 대학의 실질적인 평균 경쟁률이 0.7대 1에 불과하다는 사실이 처음 보도된 것은 2001년 5월 20일 동아일보를 통해서였다. 그 보도를 시작으로 아무도 모르게 청소년들 사이에 불처럼 번진 소위 '이공계 기피'는 우리 사회의 심각한 논란거리가 되었다. 그 원인과 심각성에 대한 수많은 진단과 함께 다양한 개선책이 제시되었다. 최근에는 이공계의 공직 진출을 획기적으로 확대하겠다는 정책까지 발표되었지만 이공계 기피는 여전히 개선될 기미를 보이지 않고 있다.

  • 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.

  • The objective of this study is to investigate why the applicants for entrance to the science and engineering college are shrinking. We focus on the social situation of the science and engineering college graduates, more concretely, focus on the job stability, social position and the compensation in comparison with the non-science and engineering college graduate. We find that the science and engineering college graduates have the higher rate of separation from his job, the fewer opportunity of improving the social situation and the lower compensation throughout his life from the first job in comparison with the non-science and engineering college graduates. However, this study can not identify why the science and engineering college graduates receive the socially unkind treatment.
