구직자들은 극도로 어려운 취업난을 겪고 있고 기업들은 인력난을 호소하고 있다. 이 상반된 현상에 대한 견해들은 부분적으로 타당성을 가진다. 하지만 구직자와 구인자 간의 근본적인 차이는 존재한다. 그것은 구인자로서는 아무리 구직자가 많아도 찾고자하는 인력이 없다는 것과 구직자는 자신이 원하는 기업이 아니면 취업자체를 꺼리는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 하지만 이러한 현상은 젊은 고학력자들의 실업화를 불러왔다. 그러나 우리나라의 인력은 세계에 내놓아도 경쟁력이 있는 고급두뇌들이다. 특히 정보통신 분야는 우리나라가 경쟁력을 가진 분야이며 해외에서는 정보통신관련 인력의 수요가 끊임없이 발생하고 있다는 것이다. 포화상태에 있는 국내 정보통신 인력들의 해외진출 또한 국가경제 측면에서 제고할 만한 사항이다. 이에 해외 외국의 정보통신 분야의 인력 수급현황을 살펴보고 국내 인력의 해외진출에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The consumption patterns of the minimally processed fruits and vegetables were surveyed in this present study. Eighty four women who were resident in either Seoul and Kyongki-do in Korea were participants in this study as respondents to our various questionnaire. The result are summarized as follows; The respondents had a preference for a supermarket (46.4%) as the place of purchase (or fruits and vegetables and the frequency of purchase was two or three times per week. The residents of apartment preferred department stores and supermarkets to stalls in the immediate residential area (p<.05). Fifty percents of the unmarried women respondents indicated that they only purchased once a week. Approximately 70% of the respondents rated quality considerations over the price and quantity when they choose their fruits and vegetables. This behavioral tendency was stronger for the residents of the apartment and amongst the more highly educated women. The type of fruits and vegetables purchased were mainly unprocessed. However, minimally processed products appeared to be popular especially among unmarried or married who did not have children, were highly educated and aged between 20 and 30. These observations are supported by data in which 82% of respondents whose ages were ranged between 20 and 30, with high educational backgrounds and who had experienced in the purchase of minimally processed fruits and vegetables. The motivation for purchasing minimally processed fruits and vegetables generally resulted from a consideration of the saving in cooking time, the ease of handling and the desire to serve appropriate portions. On the other hand, the reasons for not purchasing minimally processed fruits and vegetables were the comparatively high price, a perception of unsanitary handling and pack size that were considered too small. Ninety-three percent of the respondents exhibited a positive response to the need for minimally processed fruits and vegetables. Freshness was considered to be the most important factor when purchasing these products. The preferred price for the minimally processed fruits and vegetables was approximately $110{\sim}120%$ of that for the unprocessed products.

This paper compares the earnings effect of inter-industry technology differences between the self-employed and wage earners. It is assumed that primary skills utilized by the self-employed and paid workers differ in nature, and thus the earnings effect of technology differences and its skill-biasness also differ for each type of workers. For the empirical analysis. Heckman's two-stage method and quantile regressions are fitted to Korean panel data. The earnings effect of technology differences turns skill- biased for wage earners (job-specific skills), but prevails for all self-employed workers (entrepreneurial skills) regardless of their schooling level. This sectoral difference holds for each different quantile of earnings distribution.

본 연구는 국내 외국인 가정부 고용에 대한 연구로 국내 가정부 고용의 역사와 추이를 살펴 본 후, 외국인 가정부의 고용현황 및 실태를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 가정학계 쪽의 문헌 및 신문자료의 검토를 통해 조선시대 이후, 특히 1960년대 이후 내국인 가정부의 고용추이와 특성을 파악하였고, 지역별 사회복지관과 YWCA 담당자 전화조사를 통해 현재 국내 가정부 노동시장의 수요와 공급 정도를 살펴 본 후, 법무부 출입국관리국의 통계자료와 2002년 불법체류 자진신고자료 및 2001년 말부터 2004년 초까지 인터넷 웹사이트를 통한 외국인 가정부 구인구직 광고내용을 분석하여, 국내 외국인 가정부 고용의 현황과 특성을 파악하였다. 이 연구의 주요 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그간 국내에서 외국인 가정부가 활성화되지 못한 가장 중요한 이유는 다른 아시아 신흥공업국에 비해 국내 기혼여성 특히 중류층 이상의 고학력 기혼여성의 취업이 저조하였기 때문이다. 동시에, 하류층 기혼여성의 취업기회도 제한적이므로, 현재까지는 내국인 시간제 파출부 시장에서 수요보다는 공급이 더 많기 때문이다. 둘째, 필리핀인 여성 대신에 중국동포가 국내의 외국인 가정부 시장을 독점한 이유는 중국동포는 한국어는 물론 우리의 풍습을 많이 유지하고 있어서 이들을 고용하는 것이 더 편하기 때문이다. 그러나 그동안 주로 40대 이상의 중${\cdot}$고령층의 중국동포 여성이 국내로 유입되었다는 점도 이들을 '탈여성화'된 그리고 '모성적'인 입주가정부로 활용하게 된 중요한 이유이다.

This study investigates the wage determination process of regional labor markets in order to understand the regional dimension of labor market processes in Korean metropolitan cities. Since the financial crisis in late 1997, the interplay between labor market restructuring such as unemployment and skill polarization and income disparity has been shaped by the labor market process in the metropolitan cities. This is also closely related to the fact that both industrial restructuring and expanding information technologies in the metropolitan region have reshaped the labor demand structure and finally resulted in structural unemployment due to skill mismatch and spatial mismatch and wage inequality across different occupations. In addition, since wage determination process clearly has a regional dimension, wage determination and its influence on income profile in a certain regional labor market need to be understood by investigating its labor market characteristics including labor supply and demand structure, industrial changes, changing unemployment, etc. This is why labor market policy as a regional policy needs to be redefined and it can be much enhanced by geographical investigation on regional labor market.

Support policies such as education and training for re-employment of career-interrupted women are being implemented, but they are not being effectively employed. In addition, it is difficult for women with high educational background to re-enter, such as having to revise their previous careers or plan a new career for re-employment. In the previous studies, there was insufficient research to solve fundamental problems for re-employment, such as promising jobs with high employment opportunities. Therefore, when developing a curriculum for women with career interruptions, it was felt the need to select educational occupations that would be helpful in finding employment by age and educational background of the trainees. In this study, data on vocational training education of women with career interruptions were used to analyze the educational occupations with the highest employment rate by age and educational background.

Since Korea experienced a 'jobless growth' in 2003, creating jobs in the service sector has been considered as a top priority employment agenda. However, despite high employment outcomes in services, labor productivity remains stagnant in the service sector in recent years. A great deal of concern has been raised regarding newly created service jobs. Critics say low productivity in the service sector will harm the engine of economic growth in our country. This paper investigates the side of the demand for quality of labor, namely, the demand for skills as one of the main source of low productivity in the service sector. To analyze the changes of skills demand, this paper suggests the concept of job-based skills instead of worker-based skills and presents the way of constructing measures of job-based skills. By means of common factor analysis using job information in the Korean Dictionary of Occupational Titles, I extract 4 direct measures of job-based skills, such as cognitive skills, physical skills, fine skills, interactive skills. These skill measures are used to explore and to test how the skill structure changed in the service sector during 2002-2006. Empirical Results show that whereas the goods sector makes progress toward upskilling being represented by increased cognitive elements and softenization of tasks, the service sector, although high-educated workers increased, exhibits trends of deskilling in the sense of job-based skills during 2002-2006 in Korea. The trend of deskilling however does not seem a general aspect in the overall service sector. Rather, it seems a compound process that high-skilled jobs are created, but, on the other hand low-skilled jobs requiring physical labor are produced at the same time.

This study provides the insight into the aged employment provision issue for the aged-low growth era. For the purpose, we analyze the national trend of the age demographic and occupational employment in first. And then we investigate the spatial characteristics of employment of the aged in the Seoul Metropolitan area which has the highest elderly population by utilizing location quotient, factor analysis, and K-means cluster analysis. As the result, we found that the spatial distribution patterns of the residence and workplace of the elderly were nearly coincided with each other. Furthermore, five clusters of the aged distribution have been determined according to the industrial-occupational-demographic attributes. The result revealed clear spatial segrmentation: Most of elderly population of the research area have been engaged in the low-level service jobs, while elderly population employed to the educated-knowledged based high-level jobs has been distributed at a few cores. The results could be applied to the practical use for regional employment planning for the aged.
