This study aims to explore the development of FinTech industry in Korea by comparing and analyzing the effect of job creation in the FinTech industry in Korea and the US. The industry Input-Output table used in the analysis used WIOD, which is composed of the same industrial classification and monetary unit in both Korea and the US. For the analysis, the FinTech industry is composed of ICT sector and financial sector as one industry. This study also compares the employment creation effect in the ICT sector and the financial sector, in addition to the FinTech industry, in order to distinguish the FinTech industry characteristics of the two countries. As a result of the analysis, when the investment or production of 1 million US dollars was made in the FinTech industry in Korea, the employment inducement effect was 11.33 and the employment inducement effect was 9.47, indicating a total employment creation effect of 20.8 persons. In the United States, the Direct employment effect was 8.07 and the indirect employment effect was 7.72, indicating that the employment creation effect was 15.79. However, as a result of classification by the average employment creation effect of the national economy, Korea 's FinTech industry is classified as indirect employment advantage with a high indirect employment inducement effect and the United States is classified as an employment creation advantage with high both direct and indirect employment inducement effect.

This paper tries to measure the spill-over effect of the production and investment of telecommunication service industry (hereafter telecommunication industry), using the most recent data of 2003 input-output tables. The results are summarized as follows. First, the industries which have the biggest spill-over effect from the production of telecommunication industry is miscellaneous business service (including the sale commission of telecommunication service), other engineering services (including royalty), and business consumption. Second, the production of telecommunication industry induces more value-added, and less production, less import, and less employment than related industries such as radio and television equipment, communications and broadcasting equipment, and computer and peripheral equipment. Third, while the investment of telecommunication service amounts to 15% of its production, the effect of the investment on production, value-added, consumption, and employment reaches 70% of that of its production. The policy implication of this paper is that the telecommunication industry contributes to overall economy mainly through its investment.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, signed in November 2020, comes shortly after the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) entered into force and the US-China Trade War escalated. We use a computable general equilibrium model to assess the long-term effects of these three developments on income, trade, economic structure, factor returns and employment across the world, and especially in Asia-Pacific countries. The results suggest that RCEP could generate income gains that will be almost twice as large as those of the CPTPP, and that the two agreements together will largely offset the substantial negative effects of the US-China Trade War for the world as a whole. All three policy developments, but especially RCEP, will deepen East Asian production networks and will raise productivity and increase wages and employment in much of East Asia. At the sectoral level, regional trade in non-durable and durable manufactures will experience the most growth.

This paper presents the policies Korea adopted to educate and train scientists/researchers and technicians/skilled workers. The Korean policies for the increase of human resources in science and technology that stimulated an upgrading of skills in industry and adapted to technical advancements are identified. An important factor is that the supply and demand mechanism created a virtuous circle so that the science and technology education and training policies were responsive to economic demands. In addition, policies to foster a human resource capacity have enhanced the contribution of human resources in science and technology for innovation and economic growth.

Under the continuing economic growth without increase in employment, issues regarding the impact of IT investment on demand for labor have been continuously raised. Under the circumstance, this study carried out an empirical analysis on the impact of IT investment on employment with a sample of 498 businesses whose domestic sales for the period of six years from 2003 to 2008 are KRW 100 billion or above. The result of the analysis found that IT investment increases employment in most of the industries except for some of the service sectors. In the manufacturing industry, more IT investment increased employment but decreased the flexibility in demand for labor; therefore, IT investment has a substitutional relationship with low-skilled labor and a complementary relationship with high-skilled labor. In the areas of electricity, gas and construction, employment increased as IT investment increased, with the greatest flexibility in demand for labor. In the service industry, increase in IT investment led to more employment and higher flexibility in producer services only. On the other hand, there was no meaningful relationship found between IT investment and employment in the areas of distribution services and social services.

The purposes of this research are to explore factors that affect re-employment revitalization of the semi-aged workers and to seek practical and specific improvement plans to activate the semi-aged worker's re-employment. For the purposes of this research, face to face interviews were conducted between March 18th and April 10th, 2016 among 375 semi-aged who are currently searching for a job or re-employed among the semi-aged between 50 and 64 years old and reside in Daegu Metropolitan City. According to logistic regression analysis, sex, subjective health condition, working period, and information supply have statistically significant positive impacts on re-employment of the semi-aged workers. On the other hand, simple labor work and seeking job period have statistically significant negative impacts on re-employment of the semi-aged workers. Finally, policy implications for the improvement of re-employment of the semi-aged workers were introduced and discussed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate industry-wise employment growth factors in rural areas. Regional economic vitalization is sensitive to internal and external interaction changes among various industrial and occupational sectors. Thus, rural regional economic vitalization requires a comprehensive approach in analyzing industry-dependent employment structures and growth factors in rural areas. However, research conducted thus far has mostly focused on agriculture and farmers. Considering the evidence that rural communities continue to be stagnant and 80% of the rural population is engaged in nonagricultural activities, it becomes necessary to review industry-specific employment change factors in rural areas. This study targeted 5 counties in Chungnam. The results revealed that agriculture, forestry, and fisheries occupied the foremost positions with regard to population employed and regional GRDP share. The influence of national growth on employment and business variation effects was as high as 98.1% and 78.6%, respectively, thus demonstrating the high likelihood of rural economy to be influenced by external factors. Growth in the public sector appeared to support employment structure. Moreover, wholesale and retail businesses, constituting 14.4% of employment in rural areas, showed a strong trend toward degeneration, to the extent that difficulties have been forecasted for the supply of goods and services essential for basic livelihood of the rural residents. The implications based on the above observations need to be considered for policy-making to ensure that industrial structure is modified on the basis of internal demand of the region, and support for small businesses is integrated in rural area development projects.
