한국 베이비부머세대의 은퇴 후 인생 이모작을 위한 전자상거래무역분야 진출방안 연구

Abstract

The backbone of South Korea’s economic development has been international trade and export present in every industry and many indexes shows that the baby boomer generation makes up the largest number of manufacturing workers. There is no evidence to the contrary denying the contribution played by a nation`s exports in that emerging nations’ economic growth and this is especially true for Korea. As an export driven country, experts expected Korea’s great growth potential with the conclusion of the FTA (free trade agreement) over the last 10 years; however, the demand and supply gap for professional trade manpower has seriously deepened in Korean small and medium-sized exporting enterprises. The strain of this widening gap resulted in pressure on the manpower market. A rethinking and reconfiguration of traditional employment may be a solution for the recovery of a sluggish Korean economy and growing employment problem. The retiring baby boomer generation, middle-aged, and young adult workers can cooperatively be placed in appropriate sectors: the retiring baby boomer generation to knowledge intensive services such as cross border e-commerce and middle-aged and young adults to manufacturing industries. Additionally, a lack of employment creates potential social disorders such as low self- confidence and dignity. Korean baby boomers have played a crucial role in the economic development and industrialization of Korea and through this have gained vital knowledge that will simply become buried and inaccessible if they are disengaged simply because of their age. The result of this is a loss to the Korean economy. This research focuses on a second foothold era of Korean Economic growth by converting overlooked yet available learned knowledge, industrial experience, massive useful industrial information and human networks to overseas’ markets where cross border e-commerce is the stimulus of global demand & supply markets. A cross border e-commerce job training program (employment & entrepreneurship education) of korean baby boomers will transform these workers into the economic globalization and international trade. Ultimately Korea may achieve a targeted $2 trillion in trade.
