본 논문은 기혼여성의 경제활동 참가와 경제활동 참가 이후의 노동시간 공급을 결정짓는 요인을 분석하고, 그러한 노동공급행태의 시기적 변화를 살펴보았다. 이에 의하면, 학력이 높을수록 오히려 경제활동에 참가할 확률이 떨어지며, 6세 미만 자녀가 없을수록, 타소득수준이 낮을수록 경제활동 참가확률이 높게 나타난다. 미국의 경우 임금상승이 기혼여성 노동공급증가의 주요한 원인이라는 결론이 실질적으로 모든 연구에서 반복되어 왔으나 한국의 경우 실질임금수준은 크게 상승하지 않았음에도 불구하고 기혼여성의 노동공급이 이보다 빠른 속도로 증가했다. 그러나 1992년 분석결과에서 기혼여성의 취업구조가 다소 변화하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 무엇보다 시장임금수준이 높을 것으로 기대되는 여성일수록 경제활동 참가확률이 높아지는 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타난다는 사실이 1985년과 비교해 주요한 특징을 이룬다. 그러한 변화는 학력이 경제활동에 미치는 음의 효과가 여전하고 노동시간으로 본 노동공급이 시장임금의 변화에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타난 점에서 상당히 완만하게 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Female plays an important role in new welfare policies as emerging new social risks including care needs resulted from increasing female employment participation and changes in family structures. Whereas the effects of work and life reconciliation policies on female employment are well established, less is known for the role of production regime as an important institution on gender wage gap. This study examines the questions in what way and to what extent production regimes and work and family reconciliation policies influence gender wage gap in advanced capitalism countries using the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS). The coordinated market economies (CMEs), presented as higher firm-specific skills, are associated with lower income rank for female workers than male workers, hence larger degree of gender wage gap. Longer parental leave weeks and higher childcare expenditures are associated with less degree of gender wage gap. This research highlights the importance of production regimes in understanding gender wage gap and potential interaction between production regimes and work and life reconciliation policies on gender wage gap.

This paper analyzes the effects of three factors on the firm-size wage premium which have not been considered in previous studies: the worker compositions within firms, the wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors, and the performance pay and rent-sharing behaviors of firms. The main results are as follows. First, even after controlling for the various worker characteristics, the differences in shares of highly educated workers, managers, and professionals between large and small firms make the size-wage premium larger. Secondly, wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors also affect the size-wage premium in the manufacturing sector. Thirdly, high performance pay and active rent-sharing behaviors of large manufacturing firms make the size-wage premium larger. These results imply that a positive matching effect among skilled workers, a structural problem between contractors and subcontractors, and differences in rent-sharing behaviors between large and small firms have affected the firm-size wage premium in the South Korean labor market.

As the Korean economy grew, employment expanded steadily, with the number of economically active people increasing and the employment-to-population rate also increasing. However, the working age population started to decline in 2017, and the employment of women and young people has been sluggish. The proportion of non-salaried workers in Korea is much higher than in other OECD countries, and is also excessive, considering Korea's income levels. In addition, the proportion of non-regular workers and the proportion of workers employed at small companies are particularly high among salaried workers. In light of these characteristics of Korean employment, the urgent problems facing the employment structure can be summarized by the deepening dual structure of the labor market, the increase in youth unemployment, sluggish female employment figures, and an excessive share of self-employment. Overall, it is seen that labor market duality is the main structural factor of the employment problems in Korea. Therefore, in order to fundamentally address this employment problem, it is necessary to concentrate policy efforts on alleviating labor market duality.

최근 우리 나라에서도 경영합리화와 생산성향상의 문제가 활발하게 논의되고 있고, 또한 이와 동시에 기업을 경영하는데 있어서 계획 및 관리의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 이와 같이 기업환경의 급속한 구조 변화에 대비하여 본론에서는 생산성향상을 위한 가장 중요한 경영관리 기법중의 하나인 I.E(Industrial Engineering)에 대하여 소개하고저 한다. 본래 I.E는 그 수법이나 대상에 있어서 자연과학이나 사회과학분야에서 활용되고 있었으나 미국의 F.W.Tayler 박사가 이를 최초로 경영학적 측면에 도입, 적용하였다. 1890년대에 미국은 공업생산국으로서 산업근대화에로의 발전과정에서 경영자측은 기술이나 방법에의 개선에 의한 산출량 증가로서 노동자의 임금절하를 기도하고 있는 노동자측은 태업으로 임금문제를 해결하려고 하였다. 따라서 F.W.Taylor 는 산업발전에 최대의 장벽인 임금문제의 기술적인 해결에 주력하여 노사간의 분쟁을 $\ulcorner$성과급임금제도$\lrcorner$로서 조정하기 위해 $\ulcorner$과학적 관리법$\lrcorner$(The Scientific Management)을 체계화시키기 위한 일련의 작업에 착수하였다. 이외에도 테일러는 임금문제에 관련된 생산성 향상 문제까지도 연구발전시켜 생산계획$\cdot$공장관리$\cdot$작업조직$\cdot$자재관리$\cdot$공정관리 등의 전반적인 공장관리 문제를 해결하기 위하여 $\ulcorner$공장관리$\lrcorner$(Shop management)를 발표하여 I.E의 체계를 확립시키는 계기를 마련하였다. 이와 같이 I.E는 미국을 중심으로 발생한 것이지만 그간 우리나라에서도 도입 적용되어 발전되고 있음을 감안할 때 한국양회공업협회가 본기법에 대하여 관심을 갖고 일련의 조사활동을 시작한 것은 매우 의의있는 일이라 할 수 있다.

We use a structural vector error correction model of the labor market to investigate the effect of shocks to Korean unemployment. We associate technology, labor demand, labor supply, and wage-setting shocks with equations for productivity, employment, unemployment, and real wages, respectively. Subsequently, labor demand and supply shocks have significant long-run and contemporaneous effects on unemployment, respectively.

출판사들이 군살빼기를 서두르고 있다. 대량해직과 임금삭감, 조직의 축소개편 등 구조조정이 이뤄지고 있다. 몇몇 출판사의 경우 경영상태가 상대적으로 안정적임에도 단발적인 위기대응을 하고 있다는 비판도 만만치 않다.

This study analyzes the determinants of wage premium, defined as the excess of actual wage rate over opportunity wage, for the average worker in a Korean bargaining unit. Average wage premium of a firm is decomposed into quasi-rent per worker and rent-sharing rule. Per capita quasi-rent, representing a firm's ability to pay, is defined as the difference between sales revenue and the opportunity cost of mobile factors, divided by the number of employees. Rent-sharing rule, a measure of workers' bargaining power, is defined as the average wage premium divided by the per capita quasi-rent. Empirical results show that the differences in wage premium among Korean bargaining units are much better explained by the differences in quasi-rent than by the differences in bargaining power. Also, comparing the results of 1986 with those of 1988 show that the wage settlement mechanism in 1988 was not quite different from that of 1986, in spite of the drastic change in industrial relation system in 1987. It may simply yield higher opportunity wages, by raising the bargaining power of overall workers. The tendency of Korean labor market in 1988 to show a dual structure of high & low wage premium sectors, is not due to the fact that the differences in bargaing powers across firms tend to expand, but to the fact that unions tend to reduce the wage differences among the workers within an enterprise by pursuing more equal distribution of total wage premium. Hence, the policies for reducing the wage differentials across firms should focus on rent-regulating industrial policies, e.g. eliminating monopoly rents by deregulation.

The construction field is one of the most representative job creation businesses, but it has been pointed out that the overall quality of the jobs is low because of the nature of the order-made production industry, such as unstable employment structure, aging workforce, etc.. Accordingly, the government plans to implement the "prevailing wage system" that guarantees a minimum wage for construction site workers. In reality, however, only a market wage could be used for a construction cost estimation because there was no standard for the prevailing wage. A comparative analysis of the prevailing wage and market wage was performed. This paper proposes a framework for estimating the reasonable prevailing wage in the construction industry. The results showed that the prevailing wage was estimated to be 4.7% lower than the market wage when the proposed framework is applied to the carpenters' case. This suggests that the proposed model could be used as an alternative for market wage considering the original purpose of the prevailing wage. This study will construct the basic data for scientific analysis on the wage, and finally, help estimate the reliable prevailing wage in the future.
