청년의 취업선호가 지역정착에 미치는 영향요인 분석

Abstract

Lack of employment opportunities for youth and job mismatch are the main reasons for the problem of youth outflow from the region to the metropolitan area along with the youth unemployment problem. In order to reduce the outflow of youth, local governments are actively implementing policies to support youth work experience and trying to resolve the mismatch, but the achievements are not showing well. If local governments provide 「work-experience」 policies based on youth job preferences and reduce mismatches successfully, the possibility of youth settling in the local area will increase. Based on these predictions, this study analyzed the factors that influence youth job preferences on local settlement using Ordinal Logistic Regression model(OLR). The survey data of youth in Daegu, Gwangju, and Gangwon was used in this analysis process. As a result, factors such as ‘use of one's own skills and capabilities’, ‘the size and reputation of the company’, ‘social meaning’, ‘capacity-oriented companies’, and ‘areas with no commuting or limited commuting’ have a significant effect on local settlement of youth. There was a some difference in the influence from region to region. the job preference factors of youth in Daegu and Gwangju had a greater influence on local settlement compared to youth in Gangwon. It is thought to reflect the geographical factor that Gangwon is close to the metropolitan area. In addition, we confirmed that the older group, the more males than females had an influence on local settlement. This means that if local governments provide various ways for youth to develop their social and economic roles and utilize their abilities within the region, the local settlement of young people can increase.
