Abstract

With respect to the quantity, quality and social value of forest jobs, we have developed three major criteria and 11 indicators for evaluating decent forest jobs. The importance and weighted value of the criteria and indicators were investigated through a survey which was conducted on 50 experts involved in Governmental Forest Job Committee, academic and different groups of communities. The 35 experts responded to the survey chose the 'job creation potential' as the most important criterion, and they recognized the 'job quality' has a relatively higher importance than the 'social contribution'. The survey results showed that 'political will' and 'job security' have the highest weighted values among indicators while 'wage level' has the lowest value. The developed criteria and indicators are able to be used as a means of evaluating degree of decent forest jobs for both new and existing jobs.

일자리의 양과 질, 사회적 가치의 측면에서 산림일자리가 얼마나 양질인가를 평가하기 위한 3대 기준과 11개 지표를 개발하였다. 기준 및 지표의 중요도와 가중치는 산림일자리위원회, 학계 등 일자리 관련 전문가 50명을 대상으로 실시한 설문을 통해 설정하였다. 설문에 응답한 35명의 전문가들은 '일자리 창출 잠재력'을 가장 중요한 기준으로 선택하였으며, '일자리 질'이 '사회공헌도'보다 상대적으로 높은 중요도를 갖는 것으로 인식하였다. 지표의 가중치는 일자리 창출 잠재력의 '정책적 의지'가 가장 높게 나타났고, 일자리 질의 '고용 안전성'을 다음으로 높게 인식하였다. 반면 일자리 질의 '임금 수준'은 가장 낮은 가중치를 나타내었다. 개발된 기준과 지표는 신규 산림일자리는 물론 기존의 산림일자리에 대한 양질의 일자리 평가 수단으로써 활용이 가능하다.
