The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the Kwang-yang Iron and Steel Co.(KSCO) on the industrialization of the economic structure in Kwang-yang area. The research used the shift-share analysis and regional growth rate differential analysis. KSCO has influenced this area by changing the economic structure from traditional agriculture and fisheries to the manufacturing industry. KSCO also has influenced the population of Kwang-yang area. The number of employees grew from 594 in 1981 to 29,865 in 1992. However, after 1992, employee numbers decreased to 23,399 in 1998. KSCO was constructed in the region of traditional agriculture and fisheries in 1981. The social and economic status of the Kwang-yang area has changed greatly due to the growth of KSCO and the corresponding influx in population. KSCO has developed the related industry and changed this area into a booming industrial city. The number of employee has rapidly increased. At the end of the year 2000, 17,240 people work for KSCO and 39,593(28.7%) of the total population of Kwang-yang are related to KSCO.

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 used Gangwon provincial social survey data(2021) to verify the effect of working environment satisfaction of the main working population on settlement consciousness and the mediating effect of subject employment stability. The working environment satisfaction was analyzed by dividing it into three sub-factors: income satisfaction, working conditions satisfaction, and community life satisfaction. As a result of the study, all three sub-factors of working environment satisfaction and subjective employment stability had a positive correlations with settlement consciousness. It was confirmed that subjective employment stability had a partial mediating effect when each of the three sub-factors of working environment satisfaction affected settlement consciousness. Based on the results of the study, it is meaningful to provide empirical data for preventing outflow of the local population by revealing the effect of working environment satisfaction and subjective employment stability on the settlement consciousness.

This study aims to investigate the changes in the employment structure of occupational groups by job characteristics and analyze the factors influencing wage premiums in local labor markets from 2010 to 2020. This study's analysis involves three primary steps. First, the occupational characteristics data from the Korea Network for Occupations and Workers are subjected to an exploratory factor analysis, and then a non-routine task intensity index is calculated by each occupations. Then, we conduct an exploratory analysis of changes in the distribution of employment by occupation from 2010 to 2020 by combining data from the Population Census with data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study to construct individual-level and regional-level data. Thirdly, we employ a hierarchical linear model to examine the individual-level and regional-level factors influencing wage premiums. Since 2010, the proportion of employment in occupations requiring non-routine task has continued to rise and now dominates the metropolitan labor market. Moreover, agglomeration effects resulting from urbanization produce a substantial wage premium for wage workers in occupations requiring non-routine tasks. This study seeks to provide policy implications to mitigate inequality and polarization in local labor markets by empirically analyzing the transition of occupational structure and wage inequality in relation to the local labor market context.

Since the 1990s rising intangible asset has become one of the main driving forces of investment stagnation and jobless growth in advanced income countries. We investigate how does the impact of firms' profitability on employment growth depends on the intangibility and whether the relationship between profitability and tangibility has complementarity. With data on Korean firms over the period 1988~2017 we investigate the effects of intangibility and profitability on employment growth based on the econometric approach of system GMM. The empirical results are as follows. (1) the profit rate has gradually led to lower employment growth, while it had positive effect on employment before the period of financial crisis. The estimated values and signs of profit rate coefficients varies from traditional industries to high/medium tech. industries. (2) the effect of increasing asset intangibility ratio on employment growth is negative and statistically significant. (3) the coefficients of interaction term of (profit rate ${\times}$ intangibility ratio) have significant negative values. It means employment effect of profit rate are becoming higher(lower) as intangibility ratio is at the lower(higher) level; profits rate and intangibility are not complement with each other. The results imply that to boost employment industrial policy which has the capacity to coordinate business intangibility is preferred to expansionary demand policy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has so far given the world a great shock and fear that cannot be compared to other infectious diseases, and local economies are experiencing a serious economic crisis accordingly. This paper examines the regional characteristics of economic recession and resilience due to the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the employment fluctuations in 85 cities nationwide. Although the overall trend is in line with national employment indicators, there are some differences in the shock response and the recovery of employment in individual cities. The difference between cities is somewhat greater in the resilience of the recovery stage than the resistance, which is the shock-response stage. In terms of resilience, cities in the capital area have relatively good condition compared to cities in the non-capital area. The weak resilience of large cities such as Seoul, which has a high population density, can be explained to be the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic of infectious diseases. Regarding the economic structure of the city, the ratio of service and sales workers, wholesalers and retailers, and food and lodging businesses are analyzed as valid explanatory variables for the resilience of cities.

In den vergangenen Jahren ist im deutschsprachigen Raum eine Reihe von Studien entstanden, die sich mit wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen von Hochschulen beschaeftigen, wobei vor allem die nachfrageorientierten regionaloekonomischen Ausgabeeffekte im Mittelpunkt stehen. Zu diesen Nachfrageeffekten gehoeren Auswirkungen der hochschulbedingten Ausgaben auf den Umsatz, die Beschaeftigung und das Einkommen. Sie lassen sich jeweils in direkte und indirekte Effekte aufgliedern und entstehen in der so genannten Phase der Leistungserstellung der Hochschule. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, angelehnt an bisherige Studien die regionalwirtschaftlich bedeutsamen Effekte der ausgewaehlten deutschen Hochschulen zu identifizieren und nachzuweisen. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung konnte festgestellt werden, dass die deutsche Hochschule einen wirtschaftlichen Stabilitaetsfaktor fuer die Region darstellt und traegt durch die Erhoehung des regionalen Einkommens und der Beschaeftigungseffekte erheblich zum Wohlstand in der Hochschulregion bei.
