To improve our national enterprise's work outcome, it is necessary to establish a rational employment management policy plan so that the Korea can promote influx of foreign workers who have appropriate job skills and are hard-working and well suited for cultural environment. Accordingly, the companies need to develop the program by considering following. First, the duty of skilled foreign workers for employment is an important determinant factor and thus the targeting for foreign workers is necessary to proceed with pre-paced training. Second, reflecting the cultural characteristics of migrant workers, a cultural adjustment program needs to be developed. In this regard, the national program of screening foreign workers at the government level and the adaptation program needs to be launched suitable for local environment.

Health capacity to work for the elderly is an essential piece of information for designing social policies in an aging society. Here, we assess the health capacity to work of older men in South Korea and provide a cross-country comparison. Following the methodology proposed by Milligan and Wise (2012), which uses the cohort mortality rate as a proxy for overall health status, we quantify the additional employment capacity of current older men in reference to the mortality-employment relationship of a generation ago. Despite the high employment rate of older men in South Korea, we find substantial additional employment capacity among older men (those aged 55 or more) as of 2016 comparable in size to those found in other advanced countries. We also find evidence that older men are not merely capable of working but are also willing to work, and many of them are increasingly combining pension income and work. These findings suggest that labor supply disincentives for older men embedded in public pension systems in South Korea need to be thoroughly reexamined and adjusted accordingly lest they should inhibit the labor supply of older workers.

In this study, the effectiveness of the employment support program provided by the university employment support center was evaluated. To this end, the 17 employment support programs operated by K University were divided into six dimensions, including corporate linkage, counseling, certification, employment support, and special lectures. As a result, all employment support programs were found to have more than average usefulness. By dimension, the usefulness was counted in the order of certification, employment support, overseas, special lectures, counseling, and business-related programs. Among them, programs related to business connection, special lectures, and counseling were analyzed as factors that increased the overall usefulness of the employment support program. Therefore, when planning a new program for the employment support center, it would be a desirable direction to plan programs related to business connection, special lectures, and counseling first.

In a period of rapid change, transition and re-definition of care concept, this study reviewed social policies on care providers in the UK. In the face of care crisis, the British government has made a radical reform of the care system and enacted new legislations. In the UK social policy, care providers are classified into carers and care workers. Carers mean informal caregivers and care workers are those who are paid for providing care as part of a contract of employment. Recently, the United Kingdom has given carers recognition and reward. To enhance the status and right of carers, the Carers (Recognition and Services) Act 1995, the strategy document Caring about Carers 1999, Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000, and Carers (Equal Opportunities) Act 2004 have been enacted. At the heart of the policy for carers is the idea of active citizenship, carers-friendly employment and work-life balance etc. In case of paid care worker, government's focus seems to be on quality of employment. The government has established a new national infrastructure for quality. The five national bodies founded on Care Standards Act 2000 has been established. The UK government has realized care work would play an important part in job creation strategy. In this article, we have presented several criticisms and issues of current care policy in UK.

The questionnaires for data were done by the dental technicians working in Daegu City and Kyeongbuk Province and students studying at the department of dental technology, Daegu Health College. The questionnaires of this study were processed by SPSS program. We could confirm through the investigation that on-the-job training as one of the joint policies between industry and the academic world is closely related to all the college education and that the results of on-the-job training can be expected under the close cooperation and the complementary relationship between industry and the academic world. Therefore, this study indicates the directions of policy toward skillful technicians through the cooperation between industry and the academic world as follows : 1. The cooperative systems among industry, academic world, and government are needed for the improvement of efficient job employment rate. The continuous training programs are needed to be built up for the maintenance and development of the technicians'specialty after employment. 2. The all-in-one educational programs both education and employment are needed for the on-the-job training through the cooperation between industry and the academic world, and the activation of the organizations which fully operate them is also needed. That's because the sufficient on-the-job training as one of the joint policies between industry and the academic world and the education of the whole man and the improvement of sociality for the expectant graduates in the academic world can be the methods which reduce the jobless rate and the job-change rate.

The paper investigates the determinants of female, maternal, and male employment in a comparable setting using an unbalanced panel data of 29 OECD countries from 2000-2013. Our empirical results show that early childhood childcare and education (ECEC) is positively associated with female employment. Furthermore, we find that ECEC does not hurt male employment. We also find that tax rates on the second earner are negatively associated with male employment as well as female employment. The estimated coefficients of ECEC, social expenditure, tax rates, and tertiary education attainment rates in maternal employment regressions are much larger in the absolute value than those in female employment regressions. Policy implications of our analysis are that an expansion of ECEC, a lower tax on secondary earner, and education are key to promote the total employment as well as female employment.
