  • 이 연구는 취업여성을 대상으로 추진되고 있는 한국 보육정책의 특성을 분석한다. 우선 취업여성을 대상으로 하는 기존 보육정책의 규정들은 무엇보다 성 평등의 관점에서 볼 때 불완전하다. 취업여성의 육아가 사회의 책임, 남녀공동의 책임이라는 인식에 못 미치고 있다. 둘째, 기존 보육정책은 일반적인 취업여성의 대리보육 지원을 표방하고 있지만 실제적으로 저소득층 영${\cdot}$유아, 영아보다는 유아에 대한 보육지원에 역점을 둠으로써 취업여성의 실제 보육수요를 충족하지 못한다. 셋째, 정부는 강제적 규정, 재정지원의 확대라는 조치들을 통해 취업여성의 보육을 지원하고 있으나 그 수준은 그렇게 강력하지 못하다. 넷째, 정책결과의 관점에서 볼 때, 그동안 보육시설은 상당한 정도로 증가하였으나 공공보육시설, 직장 보육시설의 비율은 매우 낮다. 육아휴직 정책 역시 전체적 이용률이 낮은 수준이며, 남성의 이용률은 특히 낮은 것으로 나타난다. 기업체 및 근로자의 보육실태에 대한 사례조사 결과에서도 취업여성의 육아부담은 여전히 매우 높으며, 특히 가족에 의한 대리보육 비율이 높은 것으로 나타난다. 이 연구의 정책적 함의는 보육정책이 취업여성의 육아부담을 경감하여 고용평등을 제고하고, 출산율 향상을 도모하는 방안과 연계되기 위해서는 정책의 보완이 요구된다는 것이다.

  • This study examined the effects of the firm characteristics of the manufacturing industry on the female employment ratio. Three hypotheses regarding female employment ratio, were tested for 5,729 firms that could use financial data among the firms listed on the KOSPI from 2011 to 2019, in terms firm size, listing period, and foreign ownership. Follwing the analyses, three hypotheses were mostly adopted. It was found that as the size firm and foreign ownership ratio increased, the female employment ratio increased in the number of regular and permanent contract employees, fixed-term employees, and total employees. As for the listing period, the higher the value, the lower the female employment ratio in the number of regular and permanent contract employees, fixed-term employees, and total employees. These research results may be used as basic data for gender equal employment policies such as Affirmative Atcion for Gender Equal Employment.

  • This paper aims to examine whether there are significant differences in various aspects of a household's arrangements by type of employment of married woman; 1) the extent of the division of labor, 2) the authority of decision making, and 3) financial and expenditure responsibilities. It also investigates the determinants of gender equality in the family. Based on data collected in the fall of 2002 from a representative sample of the Korean population, this study finds that nonstandard employment of married woman including temporary work and daily basis work does not contribute to gender equality within the household, although most of nonstandard employees are full-time workers. However, standard employment of married woman contribute to gender equality in the family. The results of this study show that husbands whose wives are standard-employed are more likely to take part in housework chores that are female-dominated, and standardly employed wives are more likely than non-standardly employed or housewives to take part in the household's financial and expenditure responsibilities. Standardly employed wives also have more power in decision making process within households. On the contrary, non-standardly employed wives gain no advantage over housewives within their families, due to lack of bargaining resources that enable them to affect the household's arrangements. Thus, they have confronted additional burdens, which stem from carrying the dual role of doing house work as well as paid work. Such increasing work-family conflict may bring about disruption of family. Therefore, this study maintains that it is high time that government-level efforts should be made in order to improve the status of irregularly employed wives in the workplace.

  • 작년 가을 부터 위원을 역임하는 연구회(노동성)의 일원으로 [챌린지드 텔레워크]를 테마로 한 미국 시찰을 다녀와서 작성한 리포트를 발표하겠다. 미국에서는 인터넷이 지극히 일상적인 도구로 사용되고 있고 장애인들도 커뮤니케이션 도구로서 아주 일상적으로 사용하고 있는데, 텔레워크를 포함한 업무용 도구로서는 하이테크 기업에서 개발 등 일반적인 일에 비교해서 급여수준이 높은 직종에 한정되어 있는 것 같다. 미국에서 장애인의 실업률은 75%에 달한다. 이들의 고용추진을 위해 9월 30일 클린턴 대통령은 [전국장애인 고용 인지의달]을 선언했다. 이 선언문중에서 [정부 스스로가 지적 장애인이나 중증 장애인의 고용과 승격을 평등하게 하는 기업의 선도자가 되어야 한다는 뜻에서 대통령령을 발표했다]라는 부분에 미국정부의 기본자세(관과 민의관계)가 명확하게 나타나 무척 흥미로웠다.

  • This paper aims to explore whether the trilemma of welfare states has been a valid argument about the recent change of welfare states. Based on fuzzy-set ideal type analysis of data from seventeen OECD countries, it examines that welfare states have achieved three core policy objectives -income equality, employment growth and fiscal discipline- in the service economy during the period between 1981 and 2010. The evidence presented in this paper does not support the trilemma of the service economy where only two goals can be pursued successfully at one time, at a cost of the other remained goal. The trilemma has been effective only to the countries in liberal welfare regime where employment growth and fiscal discipline has been achieved at a cost of higher levels of income equality. However, conservative welfare-state regimes have experienced the deterioration of income equality and fiscal restraint after the mid 1980s and it seems that they have diverged into various models. In the countries of the social democratic welfare regime, the goals of equality and employment have been achieved simultaneously together with fiscal discipline since the early 2000s. While they are classified as the perfect model in the research, Southern European welfare states including Greece and Italy, classified as 'the crisis model', have not performed well in all the three aspects. On the evidence presented in this paper, it can be said that the trilemma of welfare states in the service economy is not effective to explain the policy goals of welfare state as well as the result of redistributive politics in the service economy.

  • Part-time jobs in Sweden are highly feminized yet are in fair conditions in terms of job security, earnings, and collective representation. Three points are considered to be important to understand why part-time work in Sweden carries such positive characteristics. First, the part-time work in Sweden is widely spread not as a result of employers' need for labor flexibilization but as means to enhance the work-life balance, a value pursued within a broader social policy package to change the breadwinner model. Second, discrimination against part-time workers is restrained in Sweden because the boundary between part-time and full-time is not conspicuous. Most of part-time jobs are occupied by regular workers who exert the right to part-time work, hence may go back to the full-time status any time. Third, the regulation on overtime work of part-time workers as well as full-time workers is strong. It is largely agreed among researchers that part-time work contributed greatly to an increase of female employment rate in Sweden. Since the 1970s, the increased availability of part-time jobs induced married women who used to be economically inactive to the labor market and maintained them to be economically active throughout the child rearing period. From the gender perspective, one may still raise issues regarding part-time work in Sweden such as persistent feminization and strong occupational sex segregation. However, the observed trend shows that the part-time work in Sweden has functioned more as a stepping stone to the full-time work for women than as a women's trap.

  • This study analyzes the amendment history of Educare Law of Infants and Children, the Equal Employment Opportunity Law, and Employment Insurance Law, and also examines the present status of the employer-supported child care service through secondary analysis of other policy studies. The three laws concerning employer-supported child care can be said to hold in itself two main concepts: employers' obligations to provide child care, and government's financial support and administrative management. In terms of the first concept, laws have been amended to enlarge the number of enterprises legally-responsible for child care service and to relieve the financial burden from them. In terms of the second, laws have been amended to gradually extend the magnitude of government's financial support and to establish the systematic administrative management. Approximately a half of the policy target enterprises, however, is not complying the laws. In addition, employer-supported child care centers are only occupying less than 1% of the whole child care market. Thus, this study evaluates the current employer-supported child care service system and suggests several principles for its improvement.
