This study analyzes the cost fluctuation between cost in contract stage and cost in adjustment stage in defense R&D project. This research shows that certain costs hold with the cost fluctuation and their degree of influence. The results of first analysis show that 13 out of 17 costs have a relationship with the cost fluctuation. The estimate of direct labor cost is positive and significant at the 0.1% level(direct labor = 1.022, t = 38.355). The estimate of amount of cost paid to subcontractor is positive and significant at the 1% level(amount paid to subcontractor = 0.942, t = 51.894). The results of second analysis show that all the direct costs have a relationship with the cost fluctuation(The fact that cost system is focused on direct labor cost is a consideration in this analysis). The estimate of direct labor cost is positive and significant at the 0.1% level(direct labor = 2.014, t = 21.787). The estimate of amount of cost paid to subcontractor is positive and significant at the 0.1% level(amount of cost paid to subcontractor = 1.068, t = 15.636). This finding supports a proposal theory that cost system is focused on direct labor cost through actual proof analysis and an inducement that amount of cost paid to subcontractor is a way to reduce the R&D cost.

Purpose - The objective of this research is to investigate how lowering labor market frictions for female workers affects corporate social responsibility (CSR). Design/methodology/approach - We utilize the staggered adoption of state-level Paid Family Leave (PFL) acts in the U.S. These acts provide significant flexibility for female employees by mandating paid leave for a family or medical events. Our study is based on a sample of 30,027 publicly traded firms in the U.S. from 1991 to 2012. We employ a difference-in-differences research design, considering treated firms as those headquartered in states that enacted PFL laws. Findings - We find that there is a significant increase in the firms' CSR performance following the adoption of the PFL, suggesting that lowering the labor market frictions for female workers encourages firms to invest in CSR initiatives. Research implications or Originality - This study informs policy makers that PFL enables firms to reduce costly employee turnover and results in an increase in CSR performance.

This study analyzed the time use of dual income paid workers. The data was selected from the '2009 Korean Time Use Survey' by the Korean National Statistical Office. There were 2799 respondents who were paid workers with dual income. There were big differences in time use between men and women. The result showed that men's time allocation focused on 'labor and leisure' and women's time allocation focused on ‘labor and housework'. This means the women among dual income paid workers faced difficulties in dual burden of work-family balance. Regression analysis on time use dividing men and women showed that age, education, income, working type and the presence of preschool children had significant effects on time allocation. We found the income effects on time use which reduced paid working time and increased housework and leisure time. Significantly, younger men who have preschool children spend more time in housework. We could find the possibility of a change in men's time allocation.

Objective: This study aims to provide information needed to determine the wages paid for replacement labor for work lost following accidents in agricultural operations. Methods: Visits and interviews were conducted with 171 farmers who experienced a loss of at least one day of work due to an agricultural workplace accident. Results: It was found that only 35.1% of the study participants hired replacement labor, and more replacement labor was hired in greenhouse and fruit workplaces than in open field work. The mean number of days of hiring replacement labor was 14.6 days, and no significant differences were found between the national average wage and the surveyed value, while female workers were paid less than their male counterparts. Conclusions: The results from this study would be of help in determining a reasonable level of compensation for lost work.

The Korea Seaman's Act is providing that fishermen s salaries are exceptionally defined and working hours and paid leave are not defined at all. Significant problems of Fishermen's Labor Condition are, (1) It is hard to guarantee the basic right of fishermen as their wages are variable depending on the catch. (2) Excessive working hours would hamper the labor reproduction ability and increase the frequency of disaster. (3) Moreover, fishermen have to search for a new job following the lay off after working aboard during the period defined by contract. The possible implement of Seamen's Act are : (1) The wage system must be unified by regular wages. If it is hard to perish the lay system its relative importance should be diminished whereas the fixed minimum wages and the allowance depending on the position and working days should be paid. (2) This discrimination of the fishing vessels from merchant should be eliminated by removing the item on the Act which excludes the fishermen on the working hours. If it is hard to do so practically the lower regulations defining the maximum periods of duty and minimum periods of rest for fishermen must enact separately as in Japan and England. (3) The difference in the provisions of paid leave between the merchant seamen and fishermen must be abolished (4) It is the most desirable to improve the fishermen's labor conditions through the completion of the Act. However, before doing this, the employers and employees must try to solve the problems through the collective agreement by themselves.

The major purpose of this study is to investigate the urban husbands' participation in household labor and to predict the amount of their participation in it. The major findings of this study are as follows; 1. Husbands participate in household labor(i.e. the housework and the child care)on the average for 114 minutes a weekday and for 240 minutes a holiday. They participate most in the child care among all the household tasks. The employed wives' husbands participate more in the housework than nonemployed wives' husbands. 2. Husbands' paid work time is the storngest predictor of their participation in household labor on weekdays but the age of the youngest child is the strongest one on holidays to both employed wives' and nonemployed wives' husbands. The implication of these findings for husbands' participation in household labor and future research were discussed.
