This paper re-examines the impacts an institutional arrangement may have on labour market outcomes such as the employment and unemployment rates. Based on the results from a generalized econometric model, the generosity of unemployment insurance benefits, organized labour and active labour market policy have effects on a labour market in line with previous findings. However, taxes on labour and the degree of employment protection are found to affect neither the employment rate nor the unemployment rate. Thus, some findings in this paper validate earlier findings, whereas others do not.

본 연구는 한국과 일본의 여성노동시장 구조의 두 가지 측면에서의 공통점에 주목한다. 첫째, 양국 이중노동시장 구조 내에서 여성이 '외부자화'되어 있는지를 논하고, 둘째, 양 국가에서 공통적으로 보이는 M자형의 연령별 노동시장 참가율을 노동시장의 지위별로 분석함으로써, M자형 여성노동시장 구조가 여성의 외부자화와 어떠한 관계를 가지는지 분석하였다. 이러한 두 측면에서 여성의 외부자화가 지속되는 현상을 설명하기 위해, 본 연구는 1990년대 후반부터 한국과 일본에서 본격적으로 도입 및 실행되기 시작하는 노동시장 유연화 정책, 여성고용정책 그리고 젠더레짐과 가족정책을 분석한다. 즉, 양국 정책들이 어떻게 제도적 상보성을 이루어 이중노동시장에서의 여성의 외부자화가 지속되는 결과를 초래하게 되었는지 설명한다. 마지막으로, 분석결과를 바탕으로 한국과 일본에서 두드러진 여성노동의 외부자화 현상과 노동시장 정책의 조합이 가지는 정책적 함의를 논의하였다.

본고는 우리나라 사회적 양극화 중에서 가장 중심적 주제의 하나인 '노동시장 양극화'의 배경과 현황을 살펴보고 대안으로서 사회통합방안을 제시한다. 동시에, 논문은 현재 신정부가 치중하는 고용률 70%제고 등 일자리정책이 이러한 노동시장 양극화를 해소하기 위한 방안으로 충분하며 적절한지를 검토한다. 본고는 고용률 70%제고가 복지로서의 일자리 확충을 통한 사회통합방안으로 필요한 정책이지만 여성, 청년, 고령자를 주 대상으로 하면서도 단시간근로의 확충에 주로 치중하고 있는 정책의 한계를 지적하며 우리 노동시장 내 심화되고 있는 노동시장양극화를 해소하기에는 보다 근본적인 사회통합적 법 제도와 노동 시장정책이 필요하다고 본다. 논문은 또한 노동시장 양극화의 극복은 법제도적 방안과 함께 임금체계의 개편에 이르기까지 매우 포괄적이며 복합적인 대응을 요구한다는 점을 지적한다. 그 외에 고용 연금보험 등 광범위한 사회적 안정망의 사각지대해소, 노사 간 자주적 교섭에 의한 임금 근로조건의 향상, 기업 내외의 인적자원개발 및 숙련체제와 분배구조의 개선에 이르기까지 보다 견고한 복지체제의 발전을 위하여 노동조합이 실업보험 등의 운영에 직접 참여하는 겐트시스템의 도입을 중장기적인 전략목표로 삼아야 할 필요성을 지적하고 있다. 아울러, 분절된 노동시장 구조의 문제를 궁극적으로 해결하기 위하여 보다 적극적 노동시장정책과 사회정책의 통합적 접근필요성을 강조하고 있다.

이 연구는 임금분산의 축소는 사회성원으로 하여금 복지정책의 확대를 선호하게 하며, 사회성원들의 그러한 선호를 이끌어낸 것이 바로 특정한 방식으로 구성된 노동시장 제도임을 보이고자 한다. 달리 말한다면, 임금분산의 축소를 지향하는 노동시장 제도와 관대한 복지정책 사이에는 제도적 상보성이 존재한다는 것이다. 이 연구의 앞부분에서는 특정방식으로 구성된 노동시장제도가 임금분산의 축소에 영향을 미친다는 점과 임금분산의 축소가 중위소득자의 복지정책에 대한 선호를 증가시킨다는 점을 이론모형으로 제시한다. 또한 연구에서 제시한 이론적 모형을 검증하기 위해 14개 복지국가들에 대한 결합시계열회귀분석이 논문의 뒷부분에서 이루어진다. 그 결과, 이 연구에서 제시한 이론모형은 경험적으로도 검증되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 제도적 상보성이 어떤 과정을 통해 발생하는지를 이론적인 차원에서 논의할 뿐 아니라 복지정책은 언제나 노동시장 제도와 함께 고려되어야 함을 보여준다.

이 논문에서는 노동시장과의 관련하에서 일본의 직업교육훈련제도의 특징과 최근의 변화 양상 및 의의를 구명하였다. 분석 틀로서는 마스텐(D. Marsden)과 미야모토(宮本光晴)의 고용제도 모형을 이용하였다. '지적숙련논쟁'의 검토 등을 통해 고도성장기 및 오일쇼크기에 형성된 일본의 직업교육훈련제도의 본질적 특징이 '직업능력으로서의 숙련'이 제도화되지 않은 채 OJT 중신의 기업내 훈련을 통해 직능자격제도상의 내부 승진에 의해 어는 정도 높은 수준의 다기능공으로서 기능을 형성하는 데 있음을 지적하였다. 최근의 장기 불황하에서 이러한 내부노동시장은 커다란 도전을 받고 있는데 그 변화의 방향은 내부노동시장의 붕괴가 아니다. 확대되는 외부노동시장을 자격제도의 정비에 의해 직업별 노동시장으로 정비하고 그것에 의해 내부노동시장을 유지해 나가는 정책 방향인 것을 구체적인 정책분석을 통해 밝혔다.

This study analyzes how governmental financial support of child care affects the participation of married women in the labor market in Korea. This dynamic analysis used data gathered over four years via the fifth to the eighth Korea Welfare Panel Studies (KWPS). The major results are as follows. First, child care allowance has a negative effect on the participation of married women in the labour market. Providing cash for child care seems to decrease women's labour market participation by cementing the role of women as the primary child care providers in the household. Second, the support for families, used by child care facilities, is found to increase the probability of married women working either part-time or full-time, thereby decreasing the burden on household budgets caused by child care costs. In conclusion, governmental policy-based child care benefits, used by child care centers, should be continued so that married women may participate in the labour market while raising their children.

The uniqueness of labour as a factor of production is that labour services cannot be separated from the employee. However, since the object of sale is only the services of the employee, not an employee himself, the labour conditions, determined by the labour and collective agreements or other agreements concluded at other levels and within the current legislation, are equally important. Speaking as a subject of labour, a person can realize his or her labour potential by the way of self-employment, that means to act as an independent producer seller of their products. Another way of labour potential realization is hiring, that means offering of the services as a hired employee to the employer, who is the subject of ownership. In this case there is an exchange under the principle: qualification and working time of the worker - for wages and profits. Each enterprise is confronted with a set of goals, among them - economic and social leadership. For their achievement the company uses all the available arsenal of resources - material, land, financial, labour. This indicates the equivalence of all types of resources in achieving the goal. But this is not quite true, because every resource can be included in production only through the activity of labour and people. And this activity depends on the attitude of the company to its employees, the degree of their motivation and stimulation.

본 연구는 독일의 실업추이와 그 공간적 전개과정, 그리고 이에 대응한 국적적.지역적 차원의 노동시장정책을 고찰한 것이다. 전후 장기 붐을 통하여 1960년대 말 완전고용을 이룩한 구서독은 70, 80년대에 거치면서 실업문제에 직면하고, 특히 90년대에 들어 통독에 따른 구조조정과정에서 대량 실업사태를 겪게 되었다. 그 동안 이러한 고용문제에 대한 중앙정부의 인식변화와 일반적 실업대책의 한계, 그리고 노동시장정책의 시행에 있어 지방정부에의 의존 등으로 말미암아 노동시장정책의 권한과 주도권이 지방자치단체로 점차 이양되어 왔다. 독일의 지역노동시장정책의 특성은 고용문제와 관련된 다양한 이해당사자들을 네트워크화하여 합의에 바탕으로 한 정책의 의사결정 및 추진력을 제고하고, 기존 정책수단들을 다양한 방식으로 연계시켜 시너지효과를 극대화하며, 국지적 노동시장여건에 고려한 목표지향적 정책스펙트럼을 구성하는 데서 찾아 볼 수 있다.

${\cdot}$ Recent social policy and labour markets debates in Europe, responding to the difficulties faced by the traditional neo-Keynesian welfare state settlement, stress the value of positive investment alongside de-regulation and greater flexibility as a way of achieving both economic and social goals. ${\cdot}$ Patterns of policy reform are complex and reflect differing national circumstances. A general move towards deregulation, constraints on entitlement to passive benefits, programmes to enhance employment, particularly among high-risk groups such as single parents and young people, targeted subsidies for low earners and casemanagement may be identified. ${\cdot}$ In relation to investment in education, research and development and combined training and benefit programmes to enhance mobility between jobs the picture is less clear. Education standards continue to rise, but research and development spending stagnates and few countries have developed substantial ‘flexi-curity’ programmes to support job mobility. ${\cdot}$ The labour market tradition in much of Europe has been one of conflict between labour and employers. As labour grows weaker, new approaches develop. These tend to stress productivity agreements and greater flexibility in work practices within firms and reforms to passive social security systems more broadly, but movement to support the more challenging investment and flexi-curity policies is slow. ${\cdot}$ In general, social and labour market policies in Europe stress deregulation and negative activation more strongly than social investment and ‘flexi-curity’. The countries with high growth and employment achieve that goal by different routes: Sweden has a closely integrated social democratic corporatism with high spending on benefits and training programmes and the UK a more liberal market-oriented system, with lower spending, highly targeted benefits and less mobility support. ${\cdot}$ Europe has something to learn from Korea in achieving high investment in human capital and R and D, while Korea may have something to learn from Europe in social investment, particularly flexi-curity and equal opportunity policies.

This study is first aimed at identifying the possibility of labour saving and production cost decreasing in rice production with respect to seed broad casting technology. Comparison of labour inputs and production costs of rice in-between USA and Korea and recommendation of policy guidelines for the continous rice cultivation are the second objective of this study. Under the WTO system, rice enterprice is the most vulnerable crop in the sense of labour productivity and price competitiveness in the international market. How to adapt labour saving technology and how to decrease production costs are the most imminent problems to be solved in rice production. To achieve the objectives, survey on nine rice enterprice farms were made in Daeho tidal farmland with respect to the size of farm, labour inputs, productivity, farm mechanization and farm land base development. The existing data on labour saving technology by seed broadcasting which had surveyed by Rural Development Administration were collected to compare the surveyed data from Daeho tidal farm land The study results and policy recommendation are summarized as follows; 1. Labour requirements per 10a for rice enterprise farms with seed broadcasting and with transplanting were estimated 11.4 and 18.5hours respectively. 'This above labour inputs were equivalent to 1/3-1/5 of the national average labour inputs of 53.6 hours which were included transplanting and harvesting by machinery. Considering the labour requirement of 1.7 hours per 10a for the USA rice production, Korea rice culture has possibility to decrease labour demand upto USA level of labour inputs. 2. Production cost of rice in Korea were estimated US$4,181 per ha which were higher than that of USA by 3.00 times and production costs per ton were shown as US$313 for USA rice and US$1,018 for Korean rice. 3. Land productivity of rice per 10a in America was reached to 4,325kg and the counterpart of Korea was about 4,181kg in recent year. In the sense of land productivity, both yields of rice were comparable. 4. The price of japonica type rice similar to Korean traditional rice in international market in 1994 was f.o.b US$466 per ton which was equivalent to import parity price of US$830 per ton in domestic market. The price of rice purchased by Korean G't and received by farmers were amounted to US$ 2,013 and US$ 1,663 respectively in the same year. Domestic prices mentioned above were higher than the import parity price as US$830 by 2.0-2.4 times. 5. American rice production competitive to Korean rice was equivalent to 17,012 thousand tons, 1.28% of the world production of rice in 1991 and consumption of rice in America was amounted to 2,633 thousand tons. Exportable quantity of USA rice were estimated as 4,379 thousand tons of which 52.3%, 2,300 thousand tons, were exported indeed in the same year. 6. The quantity of Korean rice produced in 1991 was estimated 1.00% of the world production. The world amount of rice exported in 1991 was reached to 2.45% of the world production of which 34.2% was occupied by USA The remaining quantities of world exported rice were dominated by Tiland, Pakistan and Vietnam where produced indica variety. 7. Under the given technology, labour inputs per 10a for rice production could be possible to save by 70% of the national average labour requirement of 53.6 hours through implmenting complete farm mechanization with land consolidation and on-farm development and improvement of fanning practices like seedbroad casting txchnology etc. On the other hand, prduction costs of rice could be decreased by 10% rather than 49% as target indicated in the Rural Development Counter Measures of Korean Government in 1994 owing to increasing farm mechanization cost and interest on land service with high price. Accordingly production cost of rice per kg could be decreased only by 10% of the 1994 production cost. 8. Rice policy of Korean government in the future should take into account the labour saving technology to solve labour shortage in rural area and to enhance off-farm incomes by creating job opportunities in agro-industrial zones and special production area. On account of the staple food and main energy source for people's health, rice production even encountered vulnerable economic settings should be continued without price distortion policies and discouraging farmer's intention to cultivate rice by importing institutionally the direct income subsidy system.
