우리나라 전체 자영업자에서 청년 자영업자의 비율은 감소하고, 중장년 자영업자의 비율이 증가하고 있다. 또한 청년층 자영업의 평균 지속기간은 37개월로 대략 3년의 자영업 유지기간을 보이고 있으나, 청년 자영업자 40% 정도는 2년 이내에 자영업에서 이탈하는 것으로 나타났다. 청년자영업자 사업의 짧은 지속 기간과 높은 이탈률에도 불구하고, 우리나라의 자영업 시장구조가 50~60대 중장년층을 중심으로 형성되어 있기 때문에 20~30대 청년층의 경우 분석 및 논의 대상에서 큰 비중을 차지하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 청년 자영업자의 미래지향적이며, 창조적인 아이디어를 갖고 적극적으로 실행해보고자 하는 성향과 위험을 감수하는 기업가정신이 사업성과에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 상황에 주목하였으며, 이러한 상황에서 개인의 '자기효능감, 낙관주의, 복원력, 희망'과 같은 긍정심리자본이 매개한다고 가정하고 연구모형을 설정하였다. 이를 위해 기업가정신의 구성요소인 '혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성'을 독립변수로, '균형성과관리(BSC)의 재무적 관점, 고객 관점, 내부 프로세스 관점, 학습과 성장 관점'을 도입한 사업성과를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 또한 선행연구를 기반으로 긍정심리자본을 매개변수로 채택하여 변수 간의 관계를 실증적 분석을 통하여 검증하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 N사의 파트너스퀘어(광주) 이용한 경험이 있는 청년자영업자를 대상으로 e-커머스 창업생태계인 온라인쇼핑몰에 진입하는 과정과 성과를 근거이론(Grounded Theory) 방법을 활용해 규명해 보는 데 있다. 본 연구는 심층 면접 조사 자료를 활용했는데, 연구 참여자의 선정에 있어 이론적 표본 추출(Theoretical Sampling)방식을 사용했으며, 스트라우스와 코빈(Strauss & Corbin)이 제시한 개방코딩, 축코딩, 선택코딩 순으로 진행한 후 패러다임모형으로 분석했다. 주요연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부모가 e-커머스에 대해 잘 알지 못하거나 부정적이라도 자녀의 창업에 대해서 긍정적이면 자녀가 온라인쇼핑몰을 통한 자영업에 진입하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 부모가 e-커머스에 부정적이고, 자녀의 창업에도 부정적이면 자녀는 온라인쇼핑몰을 통한 자영업에 진입하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청년층의 e-커머스를 통한 자영업 진입과 성과 창출조건으로 e-커머스 활용능력이 중요한 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 N사의 파트너스퀘어(광주)는 e-커머스 활용능력을 증대시켜, 청년층이 온라인쇼핑몰을 통한 자영업 진입에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 청년층은 온라인쇼핑몰을 통한 e-커머스 자영업에 진입한 이후 단순한 매출액 증가 이외에 자존감 상승, 기회발견, 창의성 역량이 강화되는 것으로 나타났다.

In recent years, the proportion of youth's self-employed is steadily increasing, and government policy also actively encourages youth to become an entrepreneur. However, most of the domestic precedent studies on the self-employed labor market focus on the middle-aged and the elderly, and previous studies on the self-employed labor market of young people are hardly ever studied. Above all, the study that examines the factors of entry into self-employment of young people is not sufficient and researchers usually utilize the study about for all ages to explain the self-employment market of young people. However, because the young and middle-aged people differ in labor market conditions, family backgrounds, and the level of accumulation of human capital, separate explanations and theories are needed. Therefore, this study explored the factors of entry into self-employment by separating the age group from 15~29 years old. The data used in the analysis was the 9th to 20th data of the Korea Labor Panel Survey. The youth unemployment rate and employment rate were referred to the Economically Active Population Survey of Statistics Korea. The analysis subject was limited to young people who are currently performing economic activities, and the analysis method used multi-level logit model. The main results are summarized as follows. First, the lower the unemployment rate and the higher the employment rate, the younger people tend to enter their own businesses on the structural level. Second on the individual level, young people who possess enough financial capital or pursuit personal aptitude or interest tend to enter self-employment. However, there are no statistical effects of human capital and entrepreneur capital.

This study uses the 12-21st waves of KLIPS to estimate the effect of the increase in the minimum wage on the individual's labor market transition through a multinomial logit. In particular, we examine whether there was an additional effect of the rapid increase in the minimum wage in 2018. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the increase in the minimum wage in Korea is found to have increased the probability of becoming unemployed for both wage workers and self-employed, but there is no additional impact found from the 2018 minimum wage increase. Second, the increase in the minimum wage is found to increase the likelihood of the self-employed entering into wage workers, especially temporary and daily workers. Third, we have found that the increase in the minimum wage in 2018 adversely affected self-employed people with high school education, and significantly lowered young wage workers entering into self-employed. Our results suggest that the recent increase in the minimum wage may be responsible for declining self-employment rate in Korea, and may have a negative effect on the quality of employment because the increase in minimum wage can lead to an increase in temporary and daily wage workers.

The purpose of this study is by using the Grounded Theory method to examine the process of starting a business in an online shopping mall for young self-employed people with experience in using Company N's Partner Square (Gwangju), a startup infrastructure institution. In this study, in-depth interview survey data were used, and theoretical sampling method was used in the selection of study participants. After proceeding in the order of open coding, axis coding, and selective coding suggested by Strauss & Corbin, it was analyzed with a paradigm model. The main research results are as follows. First, even when parents were unaware about online shopping malls or had a negative mindset about it, but they had a positive mindset about their children's start-ups, it was found that their children tended to start online shopping mall businesses. However, if parents had a negative mindset about online shopping malls and about their children's start-up, then the child could not start an online shopping mall business. Second, it was found that the ability to use online shopping malls is important as a condition for entrepreneurship and achievement in online shopping malls for young people. In particular, Partner Square (Gwangju) was found to increase the ability to use online shopping malls and positively influence startups in online shopping malls. Third, it was found that young people have increased their self-esteem, discovering opportunities, and reinforcing their creativity, in addition to simply increasing their sales after starting the online shopping mall.

This research tries to examine the possibility of non-regular workers' electronic panopticon experience and the possibility of secularization, and get which meaning of life through that. Seven participants were selected for this Ethnography Research; Five young workers and two self-employees. The research is as follows. First, the media system and medium such as the smartphone and social media operate as the electronics panopticon device which constantly being watched. Second, this kind of electronics panopticon experience tries to observe the discipline of itself and experiencing de-extermination which lost its diversity by intended to internalize the actions demanded by the employer. Finally, the participants performed secularization by resisting power devices through smart devices and media and seeking workers' rights and interests through the community. Therefore, this research confirms the media could function as electronic panopticons device and as a device for the possibility of secularization.

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.
