Abstract

In recent years, the knowledge service industry is getting much attention in terms of the role as new growth driver and employment creation sector whereas the overall potential growth rate in Korea has been slowed due to reduced investment and employment in manufacturing sector. This study examines how the knowledge service industry contributes to economic development and employment creation by analyzing the structure transition pattern of the knowledge service industry from 1995 to 2010 and suggests, based on these results, some policy implications for the industry's development. It turns out that the knowledge service industry greatly contributes to total production increase and employment creation during the period of 1995 to 2010. Special strategy for increase in labor productivity will be required for the knowledge service industry to contribute consistently as growth driver and employment creation sector since production increase rate and growth contribution level have been gradually decreased while employment growth rate and its contribution level have been consistently increased in the knowledge service industry.

최근 들어 우리나라는 제조업 부문의 투자와 고용이 부진하여 잠재성장률이 둔화되는 가운데 신성장동력 및 일자리 창출부문으로서 지식서비스의 역할에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산출 및 고용측면에서 1995년에서 2010년까지의 기간 동안 우리나라의 지식서비스산업의 구조변화 양상을 분석함으로써 지식서비스산업이 경제성장 및 고용창출에 어느 정도의 기여를 하고 있는지를 살펴보고 지식서비스산업 육성을 위한 정책방향을 제시하였다. 지식서비스산업은 여타 산업에 비하여 총산출과 고용의 규모면에 있어서 국가전체에서 차지하는 비중은 그다지 크지 않지만, 타 산업에 비하여 가장 빠른 성장 속도를 보이고 있어서 우리나라의 총산출 증가와 고용 창출에 큰 기여를 한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 산출증가율과 성장기여도는 점차 하락하고 있어서 지식서비스가 앞으로도 지속적으로 성장동력 및 고용창출에 기여하기 위해서는 생산성 증대를 위한 특별 대책이 요구된다.
