This study examines patterms of wage inequality across ownership types and its regional structure in post-reform China in order to understand an emerging process of inequality. Using industrial wage data, I explored historical changes of cross-ownership wage inequality and its spatial differentiation during the reform period. This stuy found that pattems of wage inequality need to be understood in the context of changing redistributive economy which shapes state-enterprise relation in china's industrial sector. This relationship in turn determines labor market outcomes during the reform period including wage inequality. Regional structure of cross-ownership wage inequality also needs to be understood in terms of the differentiated process in which reqional wage levels are related to different wage factors. The findings have significant implications for understanding new patterns of soical and spatial inequalities in post-reform China.

Digital divide comes to appear as a new factor of causing social inequality with the entry of information society. Especially, the digital divide in student class makes a worry about education inequality as the education using ICT, e-learning, and u-learning are enlarged. So, the concern about the status of digital divide in school is increasing. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey of students and teachers in elementary and secondary schools located in Gyeongnam, and measured informatization level with the weighted average of three subindices : accessing index, capability index, and utilization index. According to the survey, the index on information processing capability showed the largest gap in both the student group and the teacher group. We also had the result of positive correlation between the capability index and the utilization index. These results show that the gap of information processing capability is an important factor for understanding the digital divide.

The aim of this study was to empirically investigate the difference in life satisfaction between people with disabilities who utilize the Internet and those who do not. The study also found out through an interaction term analysis if there were differences in their life satisfaction and digital utilization by gender, age, education level, employment status, household income, as well as personal characteristics such as disability type and degree. While the existing studies have been mainly focused on the digital divide between the non-disabled and the disabled, this study attempts to further apply the advanced concept of digital divide - digital utilization divide - within the group of people with disabilities. Based on these research findings, this study shows that the digital utilization by people with disabilities has a statistically significant effect on their quality of life, and that life satisfaction of the people with disabilities who use the Internet is affected by their education level, residence, and disability degree. Consequently, these findings indicate implications that suggest an expanded form of digital divide policies for people with disabilities through broadening perspectives on policies for closing such divide.

This paper analyzes the effects of three factors on the firm-size wage premium which have not been considered in previous studies: the worker compositions within firms, the wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors, and the performance pay and rent-sharing behaviors of firms. The main results are as follows. First, even after controlling for the various worker characteristics, the differences in shares of highly educated workers, managers, and professionals between large and small firms make the size-wage premium larger. Secondly, wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors also affect the size-wage premium in the manufacturing sector. Thirdly, high performance pay and active rent-sharing behaviors of large manufacturing firms make the size-wage premium larger. These results imply that a positive matching effect among skilled workers, a structural problem between contractors and subcontractors, and differences in rent-sharing behaviors between large and small firms have affected the firm-size wage premium in the South Korean labor market.

This study aim to demonstrate and categorize the status of level of mobile information utilization of the 2030 youth generation, and to identify factors that may affect the digital divide within the generation. For this purpose, 1779 data were analyzed using materials for the 2018 digital divide survey in Korea Ministry of Science and ICT. According to the level of information utilization, the consumers were categorized into three types : reference group (46.5%), high utilization group (27.2%), and low utilization group (26.3%). There were statistically significant differences in demographics variable, consumer capabilities, living satisfaction by type of consumer. In addition, the factors influencing the digital divide of the high utilization group and low utilization group were identified compared to the reference group. It is meaningful that this study confirmed the actual gap of information utilization and raised the possibility of the digital divide within the 2030 youth generation.

With the prolonged COVID-19, the existing academic gap is widening. The purpose of this study is to provide homeroom teachers with a visual confirmation of the academic achievement gap in grades and classrooms through academic achievement analysis, and to use this to help them design lessons and explore ways to improve the academic achievement gap. The data of students' Korean and math diagnostic evaluation scores at the beginning of the school year were visualized as clusters using the K-means algorithm, and as a result, it was confirmed that a meaningful clusters were formed. In addition, through the results of the teacher interview, it was confirmed that this system was meaningful in improving the academic achievement gap, such as checking the learning level and academic achievement of students, and designing classes such as individual supplementary instruction and level-specific learning. This means that this academic achievement data analysis system helps to improve the academic gap. This study provides practical help to homeroom teachers in exploring ways to improve the academic gap in grades and classes, and is expected to ultimately contribute to improving the academic gap.

정보기술의 무한한 잠재력에도 불구하고 이로 인한 문제점들이 부각되고 있는 바, 그 수용여부에 따라 사회계층간 심각한 정보격차 현상이 나타나고 있다. 그러나 정책격차는 인터넷 이용을 통해 상당부분 완화시킬 수 있으며, 실제로 미국의 경우를 FIND/SVP의 통계조사를 토대로 그 실태를 살펴보고자 한다.

일반적으로 경제개혁과정은 생산활동을 위한 공간구조의 재편을 초래한다. 중국의 지역경제의 구조변화와 관련된 일반적인 이해는 사회주의 개발전략에 의한 남북간의 공간구조의 격차가 경제개혁이후 공간적인 불균등발전으로 인하여 동서간 공간구조의 격차구조로 발전하고 있다라는 점이다. 이러한 공간적인 격차구조와 아울러 중국의 경제개혁을 구성하는 중요한 공간적 요인은 바로 지역경제의 등장이다.(중략)

이 연구는 근래 한국 농가계층간에 경쟁력 수준의 격차가 확대되는 원인을 생산기술효율 측면에서 계측하고 비교분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 비모수적 접근방법을 사용하여 농지규모계층별 농가의 생산기술효율을 측정하고, 이는 다시 순수기술효율과 규모효율로 분리 계측되어 농가계층간 격차의 원인을 비교분석하였다. 1998-2002년 기간에 한국농가평균 순수기술효율은 0.54, 규모효율은 0.93으로 계측되었고, 대농층으로 갈수록 순수기술효율은 높은데 비해 규모효율은 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 5년(1998-2002년)기간 동안 대농층일수록 순수기술효율과 규모효율 모두 여타의 계층보다 빠르게 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 이는 결과적으로 시간이 경과함에 따라서 대농층과 여타농과의 기술의 격차가 확대되고 있는 것으로 해석된다.

본 연구에서는 가사노동분배에 영향을 준다고 믿어지는 결혼여부가 남녀임금격차에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 계속해서 직장에 근무하고 있는 기혼남녀와 미혼여성들의 임금수준과 인적자본의 수익들을 비교분석하였다 미국의 NLSY 데이터를 이용하여 Probit 분석과 최소자승법에 의한 회귀분석으로 자교를 분석하였으며 임금격차를 분리하는 과정은 Oaxaca(1973) 등이 사용한 절차와 같은 방법을 이용하였다 Probit 분석결가 기혼남성의 경 우 많은변수들이 지속적인 전일제 근무자가 될 가능성을 높이거나 낮추는 반면에 단지 소수의 변수들만이 기,미혼여성들에게 유의한 효과를 나타냈다 회귀분석결과 결혼여부보다는 성별관계가 임금을 낮추는 것으로 나타났으며 기혼남녀간 임금차액의 38~39%를 기혼남성과 미혼여성간 임금차액의 61~65%가 인적자본의 특성에 의해 설명되었다 본연구결과는 가정내 의 노동분배가 임금격차의 중요한 요소라는 Becker의 가설을 증명하지 못하고 있다 이는 여성의 미래 경제적지위를 염려해야 할 상당한 근거를 제시하며 인적자본의 양을 통제하였 을 때에도 임금격차가 만연하였기 때문에 인적자본의 질적인 면이 포함된 연구가 필요하다.
