This study intends to analyze outcomes in labor market of students who graduated from provincial colleges. And For this aim, this study used 'Youth Panel Data' (2001, 2002) of HRD Korea Work Information Center. The reference groups are students who graduated from capital region colleges. The main results of this study are as follows. Students who graduated from provincial colleges have difficulty in acquiring job information than capital region college graduates. And students who graduated from provincial colleges get first job in smaller firm than capital region college graduates. The monthly wage level of students who graduated from provincial colleges is less than that of capital region college graduates. And the outcomes in labor market of students who graduated from Chungcheong region colleges are better than those of students who graduated from Yeongnam region and Honam region colleges. As results of this study show, there are differences between provincial college graduates and capital region college graduates. And there are differences between Chungcheong region college graduates and another region (namely, Yeongnam region and Honam region) college graduates.

Using KRIVET's Graduates Economic Activities Survey for 2005, this article examines the relationship between university ranking and labor market outcome, with a focus on wage differentials existing between provincial and Seoul metropolitan area university graduates. According to the analysis results, the average monthly wage for provincial university graduates was 1,747.7 thousand Korean won, which is 11.5% lower than that for graduates of universities in the Seoul metropolitan area. School effects on individual wage were estimated to about 12.2% after applying Hierarchical Linear Model technique, which means that university explains only an insignificant part of the total variance in wage among graduates. After controlling for the selection bias, the ability difference between the two areas, by applying the Heckman type 2SLS wage function and Neumark wage differential decomposition technique, the wage gap resulting from the segregation was not identified. This implies that, to a significant extent, the wage gap between provincial and Seoul metropolitan university graduates is attributed to the difference in productivity among individual graduates, rather than to the wage segregation. Also, the estimated wage function by applying Quantile Regression technique indicates that there does not exist any significant wage segregation difference by wage quantile.

Regarding human capital development and the competitive advantage of regional economies, the transfer of local university graduates to the local labor market is a very important factor. This study aims to investigate the employment structure of university graduates and spatial patterns of their jobs, and the job search strategies to enter the employment system with a case study of Chonnam National University graduates. Because of the lagged industrial structure and peripheral location of Kwangju/Chonnam Province, the employment rate of the university graduates is generally lower than a national average. And there is a strong tendency of the concentration of job places on the metropolitan areas on the one hand, and on the Kwangju/chonnarn and Capital region of Korea on the other. University graduates in searching for jobs especially prefer spatial mobility toward job opportunities In other regions to promoting the flexibility of job qualifications to meet labor market demands. Based on the results of the study, we can identify a process of so-called train drains'in both quantitative and qualitative terms, and conclude that the role of the Chonnam National University in promoting regional development potentials and local labor market conditions is Quite restrictive.

최근 대학을 둘러싼 외부 환경은 학령인구 감소로 인한 대학 입학자원 감소, 4차 산업혁명 도래에 따른 청년 일자리 감소 등의 급진적인 변화가 나타나고 있으며 이에 따라 내부 역량 강화 및 고도화, 대외 경쟁력 강화 및 사회적 역할 변화 등 체계적인 대응이 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 향후 학령인구 감소가 본격화될 것으로 예상되는 가운데 국내 대다수의 대학 특히 지방 대학의 경우 학령 인구 감소로 인해 나타날 다양한 변화에 대한 대책 마련이 절실히 요구되는 있다. 지방대학의 위상 약화로 지방대 졸업생의 취업의 질이 낮아지고, 우수 학생의 지방대학 기피로 이어지는 구조적 문제 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 지역 대학의 위기는 특정한 지역의 일부 대학만의 문제가 아닌 현재 우리 사회 전체가 직면하고 있는 구조적이고 복합적 원인에 기인하여 악순환의 고리를 형성하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역 혁신을 위한 대학 역할 및 활성화 방안 도출 및 지역 혁신에 기여하는 대학의 국내외 우수사례 분석 지역을 중심으로 한 창업 생태계 현황 및 구성 체계, 창업선도대학, 캠퍼스 타운사업 등 대학을 중심으로 한 지역기반 창업 생태계 선도 모델 분석을 통해 지역사회와 상생하는 대학 중심 지역 창업생태계 구축을 위한 창업기반 지역 혁신형 대학 모델 발굴 및 제언하고자 한다.

'New Universities for Regional Innovation(NURI)' is a financial aid program designed to promote the development of universities as a major component of Regional Innovation System (RIS). In particular, this program emphasizes the role of regional universities to provide the qualified graduates for the regional economy. This paper is to evaluate the effect of NURI, focusing on the change of graduates' employment. The effect of the program can be evaluated by the quality of graduates' accumulated human capital, and graduates' employment performance represents the graduates' quality evaluated in the labor market. This is also believed to be a good performance indicator of the NURI program. We utilize the graduate employment survey of Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI), and calculate the graduates' employment rates of the departments that received the financial support of NURI (treatment group). We also calculate the graduates' employment rates of the departments that applied for the support of the NURI program but were not selected (comparison group). By using difference-in-differences method, we compare the change of graduates' employment rates in treatment and comparison groups before and after the program came in effect. Compared with the employment rates in 2004 before the NURI program started, the graduates employment rates improved in both groups in 2005 and 2006. The improvement of the employment rates in the treatment group is larger than that in the comparison group. Moreover, the difference of improvement gets larger in the year 2006 than in 2005, which means those students who were affected more years by the NURI program are more likely to be employed. However, the difference is not statistically significant, and we cannot definetely conclude that NURI showed the desired effect on the quality of the college graduates. We calculate employment rates in two ways; whether to treat going on to graduate education as an employment or not. The result was qualitatively the same in both cases. We also tracked quality of employment by investigating the firm size where the graduates of the treatment group were employed. By utilizing data from the Employment Insurance Fund, we measure the firm size by the number of employees. We did not find any deterioration of employment quality between 2005 and 2006, though it deteriorates in 2007. Therefore, the improvement of employment rates until 2006, though not statistically significant, does not seem to come at the cost of employment quality. The interpretation of this result cannot help being very limited. First, this evaluation covers such a short time period. It only covers two years after the program started, 2005 and 2006. Second, the extent of the improvement in employment rates is not satisfactory considering the amount of financial support, even though it can be argued that the employment has improved since the inception of the program. Subsequent evaluation of the program is required to certify the NURI programs' longer term effectiveness.
