This research explores the effect of Korean women's human capital on their employments. The first research question is which Korean women's human capital increase the rate of women's employment. And then the second research question is which Korean women's human capital affect the kind of women's job. In general, women's representative human capital indicates the educational attainment, the training of job skill, the certificate of job, and the their health. Human capital theoriests insist that individual's human capital determines the participation into the labor market, the type of job and wage. But in Korea it is well known that highly educated women's rate of employment is very low. The method of this research is logit analysis and regression analysis, using the cross-sectional data. We find in this research that women's human capital does not have a positive effect on women's employment rate. The longer women's schooling period is, the less women's participation rates into the labor market are. Women's training of job skill, certificate of job and health does not also have a statistical significance on their employment rate. Besides women's human capital does not affect the kind of job. So human capital theory is very limited explanation on Korean women's economic activities.

The questionnaire survey data collected from 356 elderly citizens aged 65 and over in Busan undergoes structural equation modeling for analysis. The analysis highlights the following. First, human and cultural capitals influence social engagement activities whereas economic capital does not. Second, economic capital affects successful aging whereas human and cultural capitals do not. Third, engagement in social activities impacts on successful aging. Fourth, engagement in social activities mediates the effects of human, economic and cultural capitals on successful aging. Based on these findings, this paper makes suggestions for improving the capitals and social activities of the elderly for successful aging.

This study aims to understand how human capital is related to the inter-regional wage gap between the capital region and the non-capital region in Korea. We focus more specifically on whether the inter-regional wage gap is due to high levels of human capital in the capital region or due to high returns to human capital in the capital region. The decomposition method based on the unconditional quantile regression was used to examine how the relationship between human capital and the inter-regional wage gap varies along the wage distribution. When first estimating earnings functions from the two regions to apply this decomposition method, we included not only conventional indicators of human capital, such as education and on-the-job training, but also occupational skills including cognitive-interactive skills, technical skills, and physical skills. As a result, other things being equal, a large part of the inter-regional wage gap was explained by the human capital variables. Although the composition effect of the human capital variables existed in all the wage quantiles, the more important factor was the wage structure effect of the human capital variables. In addition, among the various human capital variables, the wage structure effect of years of education was a key factor in explaining the inter-regional wage gap. This study is meaningful in that it shows that the relationship between human capital and the inter-regional wage gap may vary depending on the wage quantiles.

The study analyzes how effective the Government Internship Program has been on accumulation of the human capital. The Program was designed under the foreign exchange crisis to support the new, but unemployed graduates with MA or Ph.D degree in the science and the engineering fields. The survey data is collected from the participants in the Program. The Tobit model is estimated to find the economic effects of the Program in terms of the rate of return of investment in the human capitals of the intern researchers. Considering that the Program is tentative and that the human capitals of the participants are easily obsolescent, the rate of return is observed to be substantially large. These results imply that the Internship Program has been successful in terms of providing not only the researchers with the opportunity to accumulate the human capital by means of the on-the-job-training, but also the institutes or the firms with the opportunity to utilize the high-quality researchers at the low cost.

본 논문에서는 최근 국내의 재난 이슈로 부각된 지진 대응과 관련된 사회적 자본 손실에 대한 분석을 시도하고자 한다. 각종 재난 상황에서 경제적, 인적 피해에 대한 추정과 조사는 당연하게 이루어지는 반면, 사회자본 손실에 대한 논의는 부족한 것이 사실이다. 사회적 자본은 하나의 가치로 인식될 뿐 실생활에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 무형의 자본으로 인식되는 경우는 거의 없다. 그러나 현대사회에서 사회자본의 그 유용성과 역할은 작지 않다. 오늘날의 물적, 인적 자원은 그 양과 질적인 면에서 충분한 수준을 이루었으나, 사회가 발전하는 데에는 또 다른 자본의 영향이 있음을 인정하는 것이 현재의 흐름이다. 바로 이때 논의할 수 있는 것이 사회자본인 것이다. 현대에 발생하는 모든 재난에 대응하고 이를 관리하는 데에도 물적, 인적 자원 외에 사회적 자본이 필요하다. 물적, 인적 자원이 충분히 확보되고 동원되었는데도 불구하고 재난관리가 실패할 수 있는 이유에는 사회적 자본 붕괴가 논의될 수 있을 것이다. 이에 재난관리에 있어서 사회자본의 중요성을 인식함은 물론 이를 측정하고 분석하기 위한 다양한 노력들이 필요할 것이다.

In the knowledge-based economy highlighting the importance of human capital, there has been a growing interest in human capital externalities as a fundamental engine of growth and development of a region. The purpose of this study is to analyze human capital externalities using 3-level hierarchical linear model(3-HLM), decomposing determinants of wages into three levels involving workers(level-1) nested within firms(level-2) nested within regions(level-3). This study separately estimates the effect of the average education level on the wages by three different schooling groups on the assumption that the intensity of knowledge spillovers varies with each group's schooling level. The main results are as follows; First, the coefficient of the average education level of a region shows 0.044, indicating that one-year increase in the average level of schooling could increase average individual earnings by 4.4%. Secondly, the external effects of human capital on three different schooling groups are considerably different, raising less than high school graduates' wages by 3.0%, college graduates' wages by 4.7%, and graduate schools' wages by 11.8%, respectively. Thirdly, well educated workers are much more sensitive to the variation of the regional education level than less educated ones when we apply the shares of each schooling group as alternative measures for the average level of education. Such findings of this study draw an implication that local governments could speed up regional economic growth in the knowledge-based economy by not only raising total human capital stock in a region but building the close networks that promote productivity-enhancing human capital external effects.

본 연구의 목적은 지적자본의 증대를 위해선 인적자본에 대한 체계적인 관리가 선결요건이며 조직의 혁신성과는 인적자본으로부터 창출된다는 가정 하에, 조직의 혁신 성과에 영향을 미치는 인적자본의 핵심요인을 규명하고자 하였다 문헌연구를 통해 혁신 성과에 영향을 미치는 인적자본의 요인으로는 개인의 역량과 태도, 만족도 및 유지도의 네 가지 요인을, 연구개발 조직에서의 혁신 성과는 특허와 논문, 상용화 및 우수기술개발 실적을 설정하여 실증연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, 개인의 역량과 태도, 만족도 및 유지도는 특허 실적과 논문 실적에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다 따라서 특허와 논문 실적을 높이기 위해서는 개인의 역량 등 네 가지 요인이 매우 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있다 둘째, 개인의 태도와 만족도는 상용화 실적에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 개인의 역량과 유지도는 상용화 실적에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 개인의 역량과 태도 및 만족도는 우수기술개발 실적에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 개인의 유지도가 우수기술개발 실적에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 연구개발조직에서의 혁신 성과를 증대하기 위해서는 혁신 성과별로 개인의 역량과 태도, 만족도 및 유지도에 대한 체계적이며 차별화 된 관리가 필요하다는 시사점을 준다.

This paper applies a income mobility method to technology inequality using conditional human capital stock and shows their empirical results during the 1980 to 2000. There are several interesting empirical results coming out this analysis. Among the results, the paper turns out that world technology inequality mobility measurement is significantly higher for rapid formation of human capital stock countries than for slow formation of human capital stock countries. This paper, therefore, suggests that technology policy need to focus on improving the public education structure to recover the rate of return to human capital investment and to speed up technology development and deployment in Korea.
