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.

본 연구는 계속 증가하고 있는 케어 수요를 충당하기 위해 영국 정부가 시행해 온 정책과 제도를 살펴보았다. 영국 정부는 최근 케어 수요와 공급 간의 불균형이 초래할 문제를 심각하게 인식하고, 가족과 시장의 적극적인 참여를 유도하고 있다. 이 두 영역에 대해 초기의 의도와는 달리 점차 국가의 적극적인 개입이 이루어지고 있는데, 비공식적 보호자인 케어러에 대해서는 보상과 인정을 주는 형태로, 공식적 보호자인 유급 케어워커에 대해서는 규제와 감독 강화를 통한 질적 통제라는 형태로 정부 기능은 점차 확대되고 있다. 케어러의 지위와 권리 향상을 위해 3가지 법률이 제정되었으며, 유급 인력의 자격 강화를 위해 케어기준법과 그에 기반 한 5가지 공식 기구가 발족되었다. 이러한 제도적 정비 과정에서 영국은 비공식적 보호자에 대해서는 적극적 시민권이란 새로운 이념으로, 유급 케어워커에 대해서는 사회서비스의 현대화 가치라는 이념으로 그 기반을 다지고 있다. 그러나 영국의 케어 정책은 점차 혼자서 살아가기 어려운, 시장에서 케어를 사적으로 구입하기가 어려운 보다 열악한 환경에 놓인 서비스 이용자들을 외면하는 방향으로 나아가고 있다는 비판에 직면하고 있다.

This study attempted to examine the employment instability on consumer's use of credit as a financing medium. The purpose of this study was 1) to examine the effect of employment related factors on consumers' use of credit; 2) to compare the results between the two different economic situations. A conceptual framework was developed based on the permanent income hypothesis, family stress theory, and the previous empirical studies. Using data on working households ih the 1992 and 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), double-hurdle analyses were conducted. The results suggested that employment related factors that measured employment stability were significantly related to the likelihood of having an outstanding balance on their credit account but were not the influential factors in determining the amount of the outstanding balance. Among other factors, resources factor played the most significant role in determining both the likelihood of having an outstanding balance and the amount of the balance. Although the 1992 and 1998 data represent economic downturn and economic prosperous period, the effects of the factors including employment instability factors were similar between the two periods. This imply that employment instability has increased even in the economic prosperous period. From the findings, several implications for policy makers, credit industry, and financial educators were suggested.

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between working conditions and smoking among Korean employees using nationally representative data. Methods: We analyzed data from the Third Korean Working Conditions Survey to identify associations between various working conditions and smoking. We calculated the smoking prevalence depending on individual characteristics and working conditions. Also, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between working conditions and smoking. Results: Company size, occupation type, employment type, working hours, working-time flexibility, and smoking-area policy were related to smoking among male employees, while company size, occupation type, employment type, and smoking-area policy were associated with smoking prevalence among females. Conclusion: Our results indicate that working conditions influence smoking prevalence, and the implementation of smoke-free policies is needed to target specific working conditions, including a strict no-smoking-area policy.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having an adverse impact on Bangladesh's economy by affecting millions of people's life and hampering their income sources. The outbreak of COVID-19 has created more pressure on the labor market. The pandemic reduces employment opportunities as most of the companies have stopped their recruitment process to cut their operational costs, which increases the rate of graduate unemployment in Bangladesh. Hence, this study aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on graduate employability in Bangladesh that adversely affects the income of families and eventually the nation's economy. A literature review has been conducted from secondary sources to evaluate the impact, which shows that the rate of graduate unemployment increased from 47% to 58% in 2020 with an expected annual loss estimated at $53 million. Findings also reveal that the prime reasons for graduate employability are low demand and huge supply of graduates in the labor market, lack of professional skills of graduates, ineffective education system, etc. The study suggests that the government of Bangladesh should develop some policies to overcome this problem such as ensuring employment subsidies, implementing skills development programs, improving labor market flexibility, initiating credit programs for generating employment, and developing entrepreneurial ecosystems in Bangladesh.

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.

Purpose: This study was aimed to examine the effect of employment status upon the subjective health status. Methods: The data of the study were from the 11th Korean Labor Panel Data, obtained by using a face to face interview method. These data were analyzed by ANOVA, t-test and multiple regression using the SPSS program. Results: There was a significant, statistical difference on the subjective health status according to employment status. The subjective health status of non-regular workers was lower than that of the regular workers. The significant predictors of the subjective health status of all subjects were economic status, age, gender, education, marital status, drinking, employment status, and egular work time. The significant predictors of the subjective health status of workers were age, economic status, gender, and education. The significant predictors of the subjective health status of non-regular workers were age, economic status, marital status, gender, education, and regular work time. Conclusion: These results indicate an association between the subjective health status and employment status. The subjective health status may be affected by instability of temporary employment. The additional research to clarify the role of employment instability is recommended. Research on social policy to resolve health inequalities is recommended.

본 논문은 2000-2013년의 OECD 29개국 데이터를 이용하여, 여성, 모성, 남성, 전체 고용률의 결정요인들을 실증 분석하였다. 영유아교육보육 지원이 여성 고용률과 양의 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 발견하였고, 영유아교육보육 지원이 남성 고용률에는 부정적인 효과를 가지지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 부소득자에 대한 한계세율이 높아질수록 여성뿐 아니라 남성의 고용률이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 여성 전체를 대상으로 계산된 고용률에 비하여 어린 자녀를 둔 여성의 고용률이 보다 민감하게 정책 및 여건 변수들에 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과는 현금성 가족지원보다는 영유아교육보육 지원을 확대해 나가는 것이 바람직함을 의미한다.
