Using an establishment-level panel data drawn from the employment insurance administrative DB, this study investigates the relationship between elderly and youth employment in Korea. The primary focus of interest is whether or not the ageing of workforce and an increase in elderly employment have negative impacts on youth employment. In the regression using the full sample, we find the evidence that a movement in elderly employment and ageing workforce are positively related to youth employment. However, we do not find consistent evidence of the positive impact of the elderly employment on youth employment in the estimations using sub-samples divided by various criteria.

본 논문은 한국고용정보원의 '대졸자 직업이동경로조사(2007)' 자료를 활용하여 청년 고학력자의 성별 노동시장 차별이 존재하는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 청년 고학력층은 경력단절, 육아와 가사부담에 따른 노동시장 차별을 비교적 덜 받을 것으로 예상된다는 점에서 이들 집단에서의 차별 존재는 최근 노동시장 문제를 파악하는 데 있어 매우 중요한 의미가 있다. 우리는 성별 노동시장 차별을 분석하기 위해서 차별에 관한 실증분석 방법으로 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 오하카 요인분해 모형을 활용하였다. 특히 고용차별을 확인하기 위해서 이항선택 모형에 적용한 요인분해 분석방법을 활용하였다. 전반적인 결론은 청년층 고학력자 여성들도 청년층 고학력자 남성에 비해 고용 및 임금차별을 경험한다는 것이다. 특히 본 연구에서는 성별 임금차별 뿐만 아니라 비정규고용 및 비공식고용과 같은 고용형태상의 차별도 확인할 수 있었다. 연령, 4년제졸 여부, 결혼여부가 성별 고용 및 임금격차를 초래하는 주요 요인으로 분석되었다.

This study aims to analyse the regional disparity of the youth employment and to regional current states and characteristics via evaluation criteria for employment competitiveness. Summaries of the major results in this study are as following. Firstly, it has revealed that the regional disparity of youth employment is deepening. Secondly, after the analysis of employment competitiveness, the strongest regional employment competitiveness was found to be Seoul(0.622), followed by Chungnam(0.592), Ulsan(0.528), Gyeongbuk(0.514), Gyeonggi(0.507) and the region of employment risky is Jeonbuk. Lastly, the most influencing factors on the competitiveness of youth employment are supply factors and demand factors. Therefore, we must create new jobs of good quality, in order to reduce regional disparity and strengthen the competitiveness of youth employment. Also region of employment risky should require continuous monitoring. And the government should determine priorities of employment policies that suitable for regional characteristics. That is to say, the government should contribute to establishing the strategy of choice and focus.

It is important for regional comparative analysis about employment-population rate of young man and total employment-population rate to a policy data of central and local government. Through the result of comparative analysis, Central and local government can use policies distinctively according to the region and keep the efficiency of detail policy application. This study shows that we classify Seoul Metropolitan region and Gangwon, Choongcheong, Honam, Youngnam region from 16 cities and provinces, and calculate total employment-population rate and employment-population rate of young man for these regions, and then compute the relative ratio between these employment-population rates, and finally compare the relative ratio by these regions. According to main results of this article, total employment-population rates in all the regions have not changed, whereas employment-population rates of young man have been decreased in all the regions but the rates in Seoul Metropolitan region and Choongcheong region have been increased for recent years. Moreover the changes by period of the relative ratio have been almost same as that of young man's employment-population rate.

Regional comparative analysis for the variability of young man's employment indexes is important to unemployment or employment policy data of central and local government. Through the result of comparative analysis, central and local government can use differentiated policies for the regions and keep the efficiency for the application of detailed policy. In this study, based on economically active population survey data which consider economically active population rate, employment population rate and unemployment rate as typical employment indexes of young man, we analyzed the variability of these indexes by metropolitan cities and province regions using coefficient of variation. Also we proposed the largest index in variability of three employment indexes, and proposed the city and province region with the largest variability for each employment index.

This study examines the housing-related characteristics of unmarried youth using occupational history data from the 10th-14th (2016-2020) youth panel (YP2007) of the Korea Employment Information Service, and the characteristics of housing and employment. Their effect on marriage intention was empirically analyzed. The results of the analysis show that highly educated people, high-wage workers, household heads or economically independent young people, and young people in good financial conditions have a high willingness to marry. Their economic conditions are very important factors. Among the young employed who have become economically independent from their parents, full-time permanent workers, workers at large corporations, and highly waged youth showed a strong desire to get married. On the contrary, young people who are insecure temporary/daily workers, workers at small firms, and low-wage workers show a low willingness to marry. In conclusion, the results imply that young people who are in a vulnerable state in the labor market are giving up or delaying their marriage. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance policies to provide better employment opportunities for youth and, simultaneously, revamp the policy measures to enhance housing conditions.

Recently, the youth employment crisis which is characterized by high unemployment and low employment rate has been considerably serious, while jobless growth has been observed. However, job shortage and unstable labor status of the old are also main issues. To solve this problem, the job creation and deferred retirement for the old has been proceeded. Consequently, it has caused to the intergenerational war on job due to equity of job creation for the youth. However, it is not desirable that the problem would be diagnosed and the policy would be set up although little attention has so far been paid to test empirically this kind of substitution relation. Thus, this research has been analyzed whether the employment relation between the youth and the old is substitution or not. The analysis method is panel data analysis in 15 OECD countries including Korea(1990~2000). Major findings are as follows. First, only half of the youth and the old works. It provides the evidence that the employment crisis is not a problem of special generation but all of them. Second, employment relation between generations followed by panel analysis is not substitution relation. This findings can be interpreted as evidence that it is unlikely to solve the youth employment matter even though the government encourages the early retirement.

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.

This study examined how employment status changes affects poverty transition of workable youth using 3years panel data from KoWePS(Korea Welfare Panel Study, 2007-2009). Findings and implications of this study as follows. First, although relative poverty rate of aged 18-34 is lower than other age groups, significant amount of youth experienced poverty once in 2007-2009(14.59%). This means that there are some of youth suffering for poverty and the aspect of youth poverty is very dynamic. Second, much of workable poor of youth had high level of education(45.9% in 2009) and they were unemployed or inactive in labor market(55.3% in 2009). These findings consistent with previous studies of youth poverty or youth employment. Third, workable youth who had changed employment status from employed to unemployed or inactive in labor market were likely to enter poverty and less likely to exit from poverty. Moreover youth who were non-standard employed had more possibility to be poor and less possibility to be not poor. These show that employment instability makes youth vulnerable to economic hardship, poverty. The result of this study suggest that anti-poverty programs which are related with the work-related programs and active labor market policy, should consider workable youth who have high level of human capital comparing other ordinary working poor. Because of much of youth are not poor in fixed time point, they can't be supported from existing social assistance program, like National Basic Livelihood Protection Program. As youth who experienced poverty in changing time need social support to prevent long-term poverty, government should contemplate adopting assistance program for workable poor youth.
