Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of non-employment and career barriers among women college students by using the gender-inequality perspectives in labor markets. To investigate the research questions, we reviewed prior studied, materials and statistical data. And interviewed some senior college students and staffs. In Korea, the enhancement of higher education opportunity for women leads to creasing the ratio of higher grade but the female workers' employment proportion in labor market is low relatively. These problems were caused by socioeconomic and structural factors in markets. Many women workers experienced the gender discrimination from regional relations and statistical indicates in the process of getting jobs. This findings showed that women college students have perceived several career barriers such as non-choice of career, lack of self-efficacy, and discordance between reality and the world of work in career decision making. Therefore, several suggestions are designed for helping the female students' transition to the workplace. First, the construction of social support system is needed for improving women workers’ career-orientation and managing both housework and jobs. Second, the cooperative system within University institutions must be established to prepare for career guidance and career development. Third, vocational education for female students should focused on the specialized program such as career counseling, career-path development, mentoring, work-based learning and training.
