The present study is designed to trace the successful reform steps taken within the vocational training system in the UK and to extract a set of instructive implications for Korea's future reform path towards an efficient vocational training system conducive to youth employment. To this end, this study focuses on three major aspects of the youth vocational training system: the government's role and partnerships between training and industry, the vocational training system, and the employment support system. Implications drawn from the comparative analysis are as follows. Vocational training reform should be made within the broad paradigm of youth employment promotion. All aspects of the youth vocational training system, such as the training program structure, program content, provider, management, so on, should be reformed, step by step, within a long-term plan. In addition to the vocational training reforms. employment support programs should be enlarged, and the service delivery system should be well structured in order to enhance the effects of the training reforms. For these reforms, it is essential to make fundamental changes in the following areas: integration of youth employment policy making and its administrative structures, reinforcement of partnerships between training and industry, nation-wide standardization of job skins, and the introduction of standardized job certificate classification on a national level.

The objective of this study is to see how a country's level of democracy impacts the relationship between financial development and income disparity. We argue that political regimes, supported by their degree of democracy, are important for various decentralization theories to predict the impact of financial development on income inequality. Our study tests this argument using Vietnam time series data for the period 2000-2020 through the ARDL model. The financial development variable is represented by five proxies, the income inequality variable is represented by the GINI coefficient and the role of democracy is represented by the Freedom House Index. Data serving for the study is taken from data sources with high reliability. The results of the study have strong evidence that (1) financial development has a positive impact on income inequality, (2) democratic government will reduce national income inequality. (3) And a higher degree of democracy tends to mitigate the positive impact of financial development on income inequality. Thus, our study contributes to the literature by providing a new look at the mixed results regarding the relationship between financial development and theoretical income inequality. Finally, the article provides policy implications for the Government of Vietnam.

House ownership is considered as one of the important pre-conditions for marriage in China. Given that gender imbalance is a prominent issue in the country, competition for marriage partners might motivate males to look for a house and probably bigger and more expensive house. This is believed to have caused house price hikes in recent years. This study aims to investigate the impact of gender imbalance on house prices using data from 30 provinces in China for the 2000-2017 period. The results based on the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimations show that house price is strongly influenced by gender imbalance. However, there is no evidence to support differential effects across eastern and mid-western regions. One potential reason is that pre-marriage house ownership has become a common culture for the whole community and therefore it does not vary significantly across regions. There are several important policy implications. Firstly, the issues should be addressed by the policymakers at national level and not regional level. Secondly, the government should intervene to bring back gender ratio to its normal level. Finally, the government should limit the number of houses people can buy and increase the supply of houses in the market.

In recent year, US government requires local investment ,unlike in the past, when import restrictions and tariff were imposed. In this situation, many companies are considering new investment in the US and entering the local market. However, research on the optimal investment plan along with the case analysis on trade regulation is extremely limited and more research needs to be conducted. Accordingly, this study aims to suggest the implications and countermeasure of the SCM and logistical perspective by studying the optimal measures for the new investment of each company due to trade regulation. As a research method, the gravity location model, Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model were used to select the optimal automobile manufacturing factory considering each state's population. This study will be implication of SCM and logistics perspective not only for companies considering new investment in the US but also for the government to conduct trade negotiations. In the future, it is expected that the US trade pressure will increase and affect Korea in many ways. Therefore, in order to cope with such difficult situation in a timely manner, continuous research considering various possibilities is needed in the future.

The study attempts to analyze the impact of firm's risk on capital structure in the context of seasonal and non-seasonal businesses. We use two independent variables namely credit risk and systematic risk and one dependent variable to explore this connection. Sugar sector is taken as seasonal while the textile sector as non-seasonal businesses. The panel data of twenty-five firms from each sector are taken ranging for the period of 2012 to 2019 which has been retrieved from their annual reports for empirical analysis of the study. The results reveal the negative impact of credit risk on capital structure in both types of businesses. Increasing (decreasing) one point of credit risk causes a decrease (increase) leverage ratio by 0.27 points for seasonal while increasing (decreasing) one point of credit risk causes to decrease (increase) leverage by 0.15 points for non-seasonal businesses. Furthermore, the study shows positive impact of systematic risk on leverage ratio in non-seasonal business and no impact in seasonal business. Any increase (decrease) in the systematic risk causes an incline (decline) leverage ratio by 2.68 units for non-seasonal businesses. The study provides a guideline to managers for risk management in businesses. The research focusses on theoretical as well as managerial and policy implications on risk management in businesses.

재난은 거의 매년 반복적으로 발생하고 있으며, 피해규모에 따라 각종 재난지원금과 의연금품이 지급된다. 그러나 재난지원금과 의연금품을 지급받는 이재민과 지급하는 담당공무원의 의연금 제원의 신속성과 공평성에 관한 인식을 분석한 연구는 미흡하다. 이재민은 의연금 배분의 실질적 수혜자이고, 시군구 공무원은 의연금 배분에 필요한 자료조사 및 대상자의 적법성 등을 판단하는 주체라는 점에서 중요한 연구대상 그룹이다. 이러한 맥락에서 의연금 지원제도의 문제점과 개선방안의 도출에 있어서 이들의 인식은 중요한 분석의 근간이 되므로 재해이재민과 담당 공무원의 인식조사는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 재해의연금 지원의 신속성과 공평성에 대해 의연금의 직접적인 수혜자인 이재민과 피해조사를 담당하는 재난관리 담당 공무원, 그리고 전달자 역할을 하는 의연금 담당 공무원들의 의연금 지원의 신속성과 공평성에 대한 인식을 조사하여, 의연금 지원제도 개선의 정책적 함의를 도출하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다.

본 연구는 지역전략산업과 연계되어 추진되고 있는 중소기업지원정책의 효율성 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 전략산업 내 중소기업의 기업지원수요를 바탕으로 맞춤형 기업지원 정책방향을 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 우리는 정책의사결정(지역사업의 사업포트폴리오전략, 효율적 사업비 배분, 중점추진과제 등)에 활용하고자 하였다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 지역전략산업진흥사업에 참여하고 있는 243개의 중소기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 전략산업별 참여기업들의 특성이 다르게 나타나고 있어 이에 대한 맞춤형 정책창출의 시사점을 도출하였다. 이러한 결과들은 중앙정부 주도의 지역산업 정책기조와 산업현장의 정책수요를 반영하여 지역산업정책의 효율성을 증대하기 위한 시사점이 될 것이다.

본 논문은 정부가 시행한 1차 계절관리제의 초미세먼지 농도 감소 효과를 통계적 기법을 통해 확인하는 것이다. 특히 본 논문은 이러한 정책효과가 지역별(서해안, 남해안, 동해안)로 차이가 발생할 수 있다는 가설을 검정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 이중차분법(DID, difference-in-difference)을 활용하여 정책 시행 기간(2019년 12월~2020년 3월) 지역과 무관하게 발생한 코로나19, 따듯한 겨울 등 시간적 특이성을 제거하여 순수한 정책효과만 분석하였다. 분석 결과 석탄화력발전소에 대한 정부의 1차 계절관리제는 초미세먼지 감소 효과가 있었으나, 지역별로 그 효과에 차이가 존재하였다. 특히 서해안 지역의 감소 효과가 가장 크고, 남해안 지역이 그다음으로 효과가 있었으나 동해안 지역의 경우 감소 효과가 통계적으로 확인되지 못했다. 결과적으로 본 논문은 현재와 같이 지역과 무관하게 계절관리제를 운영하는 방식은 개선될 필요가 있다는 시사점을 도출하였다.

2010년 이후 미국 정부의 연속 3대에 걸친 행정부 문서 일부에 나타난 핵심 단어를 통해 미국 해양정책의 최근 동향을 간략히 파악하여 보았다. 많은 핵심 단어들은 3대의 행정부 사이에서 달라지지 않은 채로 동일하게 사용되고 있어, 해양정책의 확고한 근간은 쉽사리 흔들리지 않고 있음을 시사하였다. 각 행정부마다 특징있게 추진한 주요 정책 가운데, 2010년의 연안 및 해양 공간 계획(CMSP), 2019년 해양지도 작성(Ocean Mapping), 2030년까지 영해 30% 보존이라는 2021년 목표 등에 대한 강조는 미국 해양환경 보전정책의 방향에 중대한 영향을 미칠 것이다. 행정부 3대에 걸쳐 나타난 미국 해양정책 주요 키워드의 장기적인 경향과 시사점은 세계 해양환경 보전정책의 미래 전망과 이에 상응하는 한국의 정책에도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다.
