연근해어선감척에 따른 어업인 실업대책방안 연구

Abstract

The buyback program for the fishery in coastal and offshore fisheries has been conducted by government since 1994 in order to recover fishery resources. Many fishermen have attended to the program because they have suffered low income due to serious decrease in fishery stock. However, we currently have encountered a situation with unemployment problem occurred from the fishery buyback program. It is very difficult for the unemployed people to have a new job since they have no technical skill and knowledge which are required in the labor market. In this study, we estimated the number of unemployed persons who have lost their job by the buyback program for the fishery in Coastal and Offshore Fisheries. Based on the analysis of the fishermen‘s opinion about job preference, we have suggested some efficient strategies for the people who are suffering from loosing their jobs in fisheries. In order to tackle the fishery unemployment problem which has been occurred by the buyback program in coastal and offshore fisheries, this study proposed four strategies that may be efficient and cost-effective. Four strategies proposed in this study are as follows; Firstly, the government should pay the unemployment benefit to the unemployed people who have lost their jobs by the buyback program. Especially, the law and regulation are required for the unemployed people who have lost their jobs by the coastal fishery buyback program. Secondly, reemployment as a fisherman could solve the unemployment problem occurred through the buyback program. Thirdly, the rehabilitation of various economic sectors active in the fishing villages would be helpful for the unemployed people. They could have jobs in the new labor market provided by economic rehabilitation programme in the fishing villages. Fourthly, It is also required to develope a job training and education programme in order to increase the working ability of labor in many types of jobs.
