한국에서의 고령화는 아직 걱정할 단계는 아니지만 고령화의 속도가 지나치게 빠르게 진행된다는데 문제가 있다. 인구의 절대규모는 2030년의 52,160 천명에서 정점을 이루다가 감소하여 2050년에는 2005년 수준인 48,121천명으로 감소하며, 핵심근로계층인 25-54세의 인구는 저출산과 고령화로 인하여 이미 2012년부터 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 고령화는 불가피하게 노동력의 부족을 초래하게 되며, 이는 한 번도 경험해보지 못한 상황에서 정책 수단들을 세워나가야 한다. 본 논문에서는 몇 가지의 대안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 인구규모 자체의 감소를 예방하기 위한 것으로 국가 지원의 보육체계를 포함하는 출산장려정책을 제시하였으며, 둘째, 노동력 절대규모의 감소라는 현실적 상황에서 고용률로 측정된 노동시장의 참여를 증대시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 먼저 정년 연장형의 임금피크제를 포함하는 고령자 및 출산의 기회비용을 낮추어 여성의 노동시장 참여를 촉진하는 방안을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 고령화는 피할 수 없는 상황이며, 지속가능한 균형성장이라는 틀에서 문제해결에 접근해야 한다.

This study has examined factors of young married women's new entry in labor market after the birth of their first child. For the dynamic analysis, the Cox Regression Hazard Model is applied. The following results are obtained： First, about 33％ of married women who did not have a job at the pre-birth enter in labor market at the post-birth. Second, compared to those out of the labor force, women who succeeded in finding their first jobs after the birth of their first child are more likely to be younger, have baby-sitters, have working experiences in the past, and have lower level of household income. Third, age, having baby-sitter and the experience of job transition are vital factors in entering the labor market after the first child birth.

Uzbekistan has been gradually integrating into the world economy since gaining its independence back in 1991. The need to integrate stems from the desire to advance the national economy and social well-being of population through importing advanced technologies or stimulating exports. However, opening up the country also meant exposure to increase in the mobility of its human capital. As a result, Uzbekistan has witnessed labor migration in and out of the country in the past couple of decades, driven by various causes, which is having inevitable social and economic implications for the country. Intensifying processes in contemporary international labor market make migration as a mechanism, which has a back-to-back impact onto and from economic development of a country. From developing countries' perspective, international labor migration is an instrument for reducing tension in national labor markets, decreasing high rates of unemployment and expanding sources of income. From developed countries' perspective, international labor migration helps solve demographic problems like decreasing number of population, aging of population and shortage of labor force. Thus, this processes turned into a mechanism or a system, which is not possible to ignore. Uzbekistan, in particular, is increasing its participation in the international labor market due to its high rates of population growth and young population.

이 연구의 목적은 기혼 여성의 결혼 후 첫 취업 중단 발생 경향을 자녀 출산 및 가족친화제도에 따른 영향에 주목하여 분석함으로써, 출산과 가족친화제도가 일 가족 양립에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 알아보기 위하여 한국노동패널에서 최근 5년 이내(2002~2006) 결혼한 20~30대 취업 여성 194명을 추출하였으며, 가족친화제도 문항이 포함되기 시작한 제4차(2001)부터 제 9차(2006)까지의 데이터를 활용하여 생존분석하였다. 분석 결과 기혼 취업 여성이 첫 경력 단절을 경험하기까지 걸리는 시간은 평균 29.60개월로, 결혼 후 2년 반 이내에 절반 가까이 직장 생활을 그만두었다. 취업 여성의 결혼 후 취업 중단 요인에는 자녀 출산이 가장 유의한 변수로 나타났으며, 근로소득이 증가할수록, 근로시간이 감소할수록, 직장 내 가족친화제도를 더 많이 이용할수록 취업상태를 지속하는 경향을 보였다. 기혼 취업 여성의 취업 중단은 특히 첫 자녀 출산을 2~3개월 앞둔 시기에 주로 나타났는데, 출산휴가 및 육아휴직과 같은 가족친화제도를 이용할 수 있는 경우 이러한 취업 중단이 발생할 가능성은 유의하게 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate women's labor in the private and public spheres in traditional societies from the Three Kingdom Period to the Chosen Dynasty. This study is based on review of historical literature. It was found that women in the traditional societies from the Three Kingdom Period to the Chosen Dynasty worked not only in private places, such as in households as housewives, but also as slaves in public places such as government offices. Also, women as housewives worked not only to fulfill private needs, but also to pay taxes. In this sense, women in traditional societies participated in labor force in the public arena, not unlike women in industrialized societies who participate in labor market. This research provides a piece of counterevidence against the general belief that women in traditional societies only conducted private housework at home. Therefore this study suggests that we need to rethink gender roles in traditional societies.

This study contributes to the existing literature by empirically exploring the causes of child labor in the Indonesian labor market. Factors identified include rate of poverty, average wages, education participation, and quality of education. This study utilized an aggregate data of 301 districts and cities across 34 provinces sourced from the National Labor Force Survey and the National School/Madrasah Accreditation Board of the Republic of Indonesia. Using a multiple regression analysis, the study found strong evidence of the positive effect of poverty on child labor. Conversely, the study documented the adverse impact of average wages on child labor in Indonesia. Similarly, the participation in the education system also contributed negatively to the child labor. Finally, the quality of education services is found to have a negative effect on child labor in Indonesia. The findings of this study suggest that, in efforts to reduce the involvement of children in the workforce, the poverty eradication program should be enhanced. The wages should be continuously improved, at least, in par with the changes in prices. Finally, the quality of education and its services ought to be further enhanced to attract more child student participation rates across junior high schools nationwide.

Using Korean Labor and Income Panel Study data, this paper estimates nominal wage rigidity in Korea by industry from 2005 to 2017 and evaluates the level of inefficiency of Korean labor market. And, after estimating employment volatility by industry using the Labor Force Survey at Establishments data for Korea, we combine the nominal wage rigidity and the employment volatility estimates and analyze the effect of nominal wage rigidity on employment volatility in Korea from 2011 to 2017. If the level of wage rigidity is high, it may be hard for the labor market to be in the equilibrium, and therefore, the market may have inefficiency. We find that the inefficiency of the labor market in Korea have increased from 2005 to 2017 and the industry of accommodation and food service activities has the highest level of inefficiency over the period. We also find that one-percent-point increase in wage rigidity increases employment volatility by 2.3-2.9 percent and the positive effect is bigger for workers with part-time and temporary jobs. The result implies that firms may adjust their labor costs by changing the number of casual workers, rather than permanent workers, when the labor market suffers from a high level of wage rigidity.

In 1978, Chinese reform and opening caused a big changes in Chinese labor relationship. Through reforming and opening, China gave up part of state ownership system and group ownership system, permitted private ownership system, and also opened the way for capitalists to ride again. Since China was established, the labor relationship ceased for 30 years has been appeared. However because the top priority aim of China's reform was economic growth, the protection of the rights and interests of labor was pushed back on the policy priority list. China takes foreign capitals based on cheap labor force quickly and China come up the worldwide plants. Since reformed, China keeps an economic growth rate of 9.7% annually for 30years. This economic growth is based on labor's sacrifice. However, Chinese fast economic growth causes side effects such as increasement of the gap between the wealthy and the poor, increasement of unbalanced development between regions, and the increasement of conflict between labor and management. Especially, according to changes in labors' level of consciousness, the labors recognized that their rights and interests are exploited by employers. Therefore, the labor dispute is continuously increasing. Chinese government changes their policy from the policy focusing on enterprise development to the policy protecting labor's rights and interests. In order to protect labor's rights and interests, China conducts labor contract law and labor dispute conciliation arbitration law in 2008. This kind of changes in Chinese labor environment affect a lot to Korean companies which already entered into China or are willing to enter. According to studying on present situation and resolution system in Chinese labor dispute, this paper suggests the proper countermeasure related to labor dispute of Korean companies which entered in China. First, the success rate of labor dispute conciliation by enterprise labor dispute conciliation committee is around 20% during recent several years and the success rate by year is in decline. Therefore, when labor dispute is occurred, our companies which entered into China better use other labor dispute methods such as negotiation and arbitration than conciliation in order to settle a conflict. Second, from the Korean enterprises entered in China point of view, there exists a problem not to sue except special cases which provided in the law even though they are dissatisfied with arbitrate judgment. Thus, when labor dispute occurred, Korean enterprises try to do best to settle the dispute through negotiation. However, in case of that the dispute cannot be settled by negotiation, they have to attend in the arbitration as if it is a last chance. Third, Korean enterprises keep in mind that dispute handling procedures between labor union and users or between labor group and users are different, and then deal with separately. Thus, dispute between labor and users have to follow arbitrate procedures as a necessary procedure, but in case of dispute related to group contract, namely dispute against labor union, labor dispute can be settled by arbitrate or suit, so after figuring out the situation exactly, it is necessary to select more advantageous way in order to settle the dispute. Moreover, in case of the dispute between labor union, they have to keep in mind that conciliation procedures cannot be used.
