This paper studies urban growth in Korean cities. First, I document that population growth patterns change over time and that the current population distribution supports random urban growth. I confirm two empirical laws-Zipf's law and Gibrat's law-both of which hold in the period of 1995-2015, but do not hold in the earlier period of 1975-1995. Second, I find a systematic employment growth pattern of Korean cities in spite of the random population growth. I examine market access effects on employment growth. Market access, a geographical advantage, has a significant influence on urban employment growth. The market access effect is higher in the Seoul metropolitan area than in the rest of the country. This effect is stronger on employment growth in the manufacturing industry compared to employment growth in the service industry. These results are robust with various checks (e.g., different definitions of urban areas). The results here suggest that policymakers should consider geographical characteristics when they make policy decisions with respect to regional development.

Purpose - This paper examines how differently output and input tariffs affect domestic employment across industrial characteristics of comparative advantage such as labor quality and capital intensity. Design/methodology - The paper focuses on 453 Korean industries from 2007 to 2014 because Korea is a typical example of a natural resource-scarce open economy and experienced the transition of the export pattern from labor intensity to technology intensity during this period. Findings - The results show that input tariff reduction stimulated total employment, focusing on the early 2010s, while the effects of output tariff reduction were statistically insignificant in general. However, the stimulation effects of output tariff reduction on employment were found in comparative advantage industries with greater labor quality and capital intensity. As for input tariff reduction, its stimulation effects on employment were more prominent in comparative disadvantage industries with lower labor quality and capital intensity. Originality/value - These results provide significant implications for natural resource-scarce open economies which are experiencing the transition of the export pattern from labor intensity to technology intensity and the unequal distribution of income after trade liberalization: imported intermediate inputs has become increasing important, leading to trade effects on employment and alleviation of income inequality.

This study focused on the determining factors of foreign workers employment in Korean companies. To improve our national enterprise's work outcome, it is necessary to establish a rational employment management policy plan so that the Korea can promote influx of foreign workers who have appropriate job skills and are hard-working and well suited for cultural environment. Accordingly, the companies need to develop the program by considering following. First, the duty of skilled foreign workers for employment is an important determinant factor and thus the targeting for foreign workers is necessary to proceed with pre-paced training. Second, reflecting the cultural characteristics of migrant workers, a cultural adjustment program needs to be developed. In this regard, the national program of screening foreign workers at the government level and the adaptation program needs to be launched suitable for local environment.

In recent times, STEM graduates are confronting a decline in employment rates influenced by economic, social, cultural, and policy-related factors. Career decisions are closely linked to education, college experiences, and university settings. To comprehend the reasons behind the decline in STEM employment, it is essential to explore the relationships among these factors. This study aims to comprehensively examine differences in career motivation and career exploration behavior among 2,393 STEM undergraduates in Korea. Additionally, factors affecting career motivation and career exploration behavior were investigated. The findings indicate significant differences in perceived career motivation and career exploration behavior based on individual backgrounds and university characteristics. And analyzing the data, 37.8% of career motivation is explained by contextual supports, career barriers, individual backgrounds (grade, GPA), university characteristics (major fields, location), field to enter after graduation, and timing of job preparation. For career exploration behavior, 30.1% is explained by contextual supports, career barriers, individual backgrounds (gender, grade, GPA), university characteristics (major field, location), field to enter after graduation, and timing of job preparation. Practical implications underscore the need for tailored educational and policy support, considering individual backgrounds and university characteristics, to effectively address challenges faced by STEM graduates in the evolving employment landscape.

본 연구는 고령자 직업훈련생의 훈련수료 후 재고용에 영향을 미치는 변인들, 그리고 재고용시 고용의 질에 영향을 주는 변인을 탐색하기 위하여 훈련특성 및 훈련생 특성을 28개 훈련기관과 576명의 훈련생을 대상으로 조사하였다. 훈련 수료 후 고용여부에 대한 개별 변인의 독립성 검증 결과, 훈련직종, 훈련기간, 훈련기관형태, 훈련경력, 소재지 및 훈련생의 학력에 따라 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 즉, 상담/강사, 환경/경비/청소 등의 직종이 전기/전자, 보건/복지/의료 등의 직종보다 더 높은 취업률을 보였고, 훈련기간이 짧은 직종이, 민간보다는 공공훈련기관이, 훈련경력이 짧은 훈련기관이, 지방보다는 수도권 소재 기관이, 전문대 이하 학력보다 대졸 이상의 학력을 가진 훈련생이 더 높은 취업확률을 보였다. 모든 변인을 투입한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서는 훈련 경력이 짧고, 시설·장비가 잘 갖추어진 공공훈련기관의 고용확률이 민간훈련기관이나 오랜 역사를 가진 공공 훈련기관에 비해 높았다. 재취업시 고용의 질에 대한 분석에서 훈련 이수 후 급여는 직업훈련을 받기 이전 급여수준에 비해 유의미하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 훈련수료 후 재취업시 남성보다는 여성이, 부양가족수가 적은 집단이, 실직기간이 짧은 집단이, 이전급여수준이 높았던 집단이 이전 직장에서의 임금보다 더 높은 임금을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 한국고용정보원의 청년패널조사(YP2007) 10-14차(2016~2020년) 직업력 자료를 이용하여 미혼 청년층의 주거 관련 특성 현황들을 살펴보고, 주거의 특성들과 취업한 일자리의 특성들이 결혼 의향(의지)에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 종합해 보면, 고학력층, 고임금 취업자, 가구주이거나 경제적으로 독립한 청년층, 경제적으로 재정상태가 좋은 청년층은 결혼 의지가 높게 나타나고 있어 경제적 여건이 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 결과적으로 부모로부터 경제적으로 독립한 상당수의 청년취업자 중에서도 상용직, 대기업, 고임금의 청년층은 결혼할 의향이 높게 나타나고 있는 반면, 임시/일용직, 중소기업, 저임금의 고용상태가 취약한 청년층은 결혼에 대한 의향도 낮게 나타나고 있다. 결국 노동시장에서 취약한 상태에 있는 청년층의 경우도 자신의 생애과정에 있어 매우 중요한 의미를 가지고 있는 결혼에 대해서도 포기하거나 미루게 되는 현상이 나타나고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 이에 청년층의 일자리 문제에 대한 개선과 지원정책을 강화함과 동시에 주거문제의 개선 및 대책도 충분히 검토되어야 한다.
