Abstract

As the economic environment rapidly changes, the ability to flexibly adapt has become a vital skill which is primarily attained through education and training. Subsequently, it is essential that the effects of vocational eduction and training are closely examined to see if they are fulfilling their goals; specifically, whether they bolster the chances of gaining employment. To that end, the endogenous aspects of training variables must be controlled. This study critically assesses the approaches of current literature in regards to tackling the endogeneity issue, and investigates the effects of vocational training through various econometric models. The results failed to reveal any positive effects of Korea's vocational training on employment. However, the negative effects were also not large enough to be significant. Additionally, the marginal effects were weaker for women and older age groups-which show a disparity between men and women-than for men and younger age groups, respectively. A more comprehensive and in-depth analysis will be needed of these results using recent data and detailed information about the training process.

급속하게 변화하는 경제환경에 개개인이 얼마만큼 유연하게 적응하는가는 매우 중요하며, 그 핵심적인 수단은 교육과 훈련이다. 따라서 직업 교육·훈련이 그 목적을 충분히 달성하고 있는지를 엄밀하게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 직업 교육·훈련이 실업자의 취업확률을 높이는지 여부, 즉 훈련의 효과를 엄밀하게 측정하기 위해서는 훈련 변수가 가지는 내생성을 통제해야 한다. 본 연구는 내생성 문제에 관한 기존 연구의 접근방법을 비판적으로 검토한 후, 다양한 계량모형을 적용하여 훈련이 취업에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 내일배움카드제의 훈련이 취업에 미치는 긍정적 효과는 확인할 수 없었다. 다만, 부정적인 효과가 유의미할 정도로 크지는 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 훈련의 한계효과는 남성에 비해 여성에서, 저연령층에 비해 고연령층에서 부진한 모습을 보였으며, 연령에 따른 모습은 남성과 여성 간에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 대해서는 자료의 업데이트와 훈련과정에 대한 상세한 정보를 이용하여 보다 종합적이고 심층적으로 분석될 필요가 있다.
