Abstract

This study analyzed the perception of equality of opportunity among young people in Korean society using data from the 1st, 2nd, and 4th supplementary surveys of the Korea Education and Employment Panel II (KEEP II). The direction of analysis is to explore whether family background and academic activities (career maturity, academic achievement) during high school, economic situation, social relationships, and level of personal competency during adolescence are linked to the perception of equal opportunity. The analysis method established a structural equation model with the perception of equality of opportunity as the final dependent variable and confirmed the causal relationship using the LISREL program. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the factors affecting young people's perception of equality of opportunity are the economic situation at the time of youth and the level of personal competency. The results of the study confirm the awareness of equality of opportunity among young people entering Korean society, and are expected to be used as information needed to create a social foundation so that they can play a responsible role as members of society.

본 연구는 한국교육고용패널 II(KEEP II) 1차, 2차 그리고 4차 부가조사 데이터를 사용하여 한국사회 청년층의 기회평등 인식을 분석하였다. 분석방향은 고등학교 시기의 가정배경과 학업활동(진로성숙도, 학업성취) 그리고 청년기의 경제상황, 사회적관계, 개인역량 발휘 정도가 기회평등 인식과 연계되어 있는지 탐색하는 것이다. 분석방법은 기회평등 인식을 최종 종속변인으로 한 구조방정식모형을 설정하고 LISREL 프로그램을 사용하여 인과관계를 확인하였다. 분석결과 청년층의 기회평등 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 청년기 현재 시점의 경제상황과 개인역량 발휘 수준인 것으로 확인되었다. 연구 결과는 한국사회 초년생으로 진입한 청년층의 기회평등 인식을 확인할 수 있으며, 사회구성원으로 책임감 있는 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 사회적 기반을 조성하는데 필요한 정보로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
