Extension of mandatory retirement age (MRA) differs from other labor supply increases in that it induces a change in the incentive to save for retirement. A simple general equilibrium model indicates that extension of MRA can lead to a decrease in life-time income and social welfare as it excessively discourages domestic savings and thus capital accumulation. However, in an open economy where capital inflow allows capital input in production to remain constant despite lower domestic capital stock, extension of MRA likely increases worker welfare. In such case, extension of MRA can contribute to expansion of hiring demands through lowering wages or mitigating upward pressures on wages.

This paper estimates the employment effects among 55~59 years old men of delayed mandatory retirement act between 2016 and 2019. Although the positive employment effects appear to have reclined during the period, they have remained non-trivial and may have encroached youth employment. The results suggest that wages should be flexibly adjusted in the market so that labor demand can sufficiently expand to accommodate the increased labor supply among the old without hurting the young.

The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of the extension of the retirement age perceived by corporation top leaders who are the main agents of employment. As a result of analyzing the interview data by qualitative content analysis, companies centered on manufacturing and construction preferred the elderly to foreign workers and leaders of social service organizations suggested that healthy and capable elderly people should be able to continue to work. However several opinions were also presented against the extension of the retirement age uniformly without considering the circumstances of the company. The passion for work of older workers with higher salary decreased, which concerns that the absence of a retirement system would reduce the vitality of the organization and increase the burden of labor costs. As an alternative to this, there is the opinion that employment can be extended even after the retirement age with the contract and in the form of a commissioned job according to an agreement with the company. Furthermore, it was also suggested that it would be easier not only to maintain employment but also to create jobs for the elderly given the employment flexibility.

This study is aimed at the exploratory research on the influence of the obligation of extension of the retirement age on the baby boom generation. The basic question of this study is about which of the baby boom generation can get how much benefit according as the extension of the retirement age becomes compulsory. The extension of the retirement age is the system that can be applied to regular full-time workers. Accordingly, this study is intending to analyze the characteristics of the workers having a high likelihood for benefits from extension of the retirement age by tracing the economic activity state and labor history of the baby boomers. For this purpose, this study looked into the change of the economic activity state by age cohort of the male baby boomers based on the data for the Korea Labor Panel's 4th(2001) & 17th(2014)year. Using Survival analysis, this study also analyzed who will continue to remain as a regular full-time wage earner. As the result of the analysis, it was found that the more the cohort ages of baby boomers increased, the smaller the probability of remaining as a regular full-time wage earner, and the group who can get benefits from extension of the retirement age was predicted to account for only 11.4% level among the baby boomers. In addition, the result showed that there was a high likelihood of getting more benefits from extension of the retirement age when the baby boomers worked for the government-invested institution, corporate bodies, and government organizations rather than working for private enterprises. Thus, it can be safely said that there might appear a generational conflict due to extension of the retirement age in that such jobs coincide with the ones favored by the rising generation.

This paper empirically estimates the decision of aged workers related to the retirement decision. Using the supplemental survey for aged people of the Korean panel data set, the paper analyses the correlation between the retirement decision of middle-aged people (aged 50 years or older) and personal characteristics and job characteristics of main jobs that aged people had worked, particularly focusing on the mandatory job retirement regulation and its regulation of retirement ages. The empirical results show that the regulated retirement age is more important than the existence of mandatory retirement system in related to the workers' retirement decision.

본 연구는 도선사의 근무 연한이 도선의 안전성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 도선사의 근무 연한에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 우선, 지난 10년간 도선사의 진입연령 추이를 통해 해마다 약 0.3년씩 신규 도선사의 고령화가 진행되고 근무 연한 또한 줄어들고 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 도선사의 근무 연한이 짧아져서 전문 인력의 활용도가 떨어지고 도선의 안전성에도 악영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 도선사의 근무 연한에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 요인인 도선사 면허시험 응시요건과 승무경력가산점 그리고 도선사의 정년에 대하여 상세히 분석하였다. 따라서 도선사의 근무 연한에 영향을 미치는 이러한 요인들에 대하여 정책적으로 개선한다면 도선의 안전성을 향상시키고 나아가 아름다운 우리나라의 항만을 깨끗하고 안전하게 지킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, it has an intention of arranging an implication based on an effective introduction of a wage peak system in Japan to settle a mandatory retirement at sixty according to a legalization of retirement age at sixty smoothly. Institutionally, retirement age guaranteed type that reduces wage from certain period before retirement is of great importance. In Japan, mainly features the extension of retirement age that focus on keeping aged employment after retirement. In the introduction of the wage peak system, Korea attaches importance to the wage cost savings, but Japan puts emphasis on using aging workforce. Korea wants to promote the aged employment for retirement age at 60, whereas Japan actively push ahead with retirement age 65 and after that time. South Korea needs to reinforce the pensionable age and the connection though the extension of retirement age via the manpower utilization, employment promotion and the stability. It is necessary to prepare a institutional plan to try not to make a gap of the pensions by guaranteeing or extending the retirement age connect to the age of pensioners though the wage peak system. To activate the wage peak system, it is necessary to acknowledge a legal improvement that concedes rational changes such as the rule of employment. An active interpretation is needed currently though, it is more necessary to review the stipulation and the rational changes of the rule of employment that is established by a precedent like the Japanese legislation case. When a disadvantageous change of works rules is made, it is able to consider establishing the provision in the Act on age Discrimination Prohibition in Employment and Aged Employment Promotion, therefore it won't be able to apply the regulation in the rational criterion that satisfies the standards, rather than amending a Article 94 of the Labor Standards Act that makes accepting the approval of the majority of workers.
