Abstract

The government employment statistics show the close comovement of the whole domestic unemployment rate with the youth unemployment rate for the past 10 years, implying the dominant influence of the unemployment of the youth age. This study investigates the structure of the short-run variation and the process of the long-run adjustment in the unemployment rates of the youth and middle ages by formulating the dynamic equation system. The estimation result consistently reflects the vulnerability of the youth class in the aggravation of the employment condition. The effect of exogenous changes is found to be persistent in the unemployment rates of both ages, which appear to have similar structures of the long-run time path. However, the youth unemployment rate turns out to have a relatively long adjustment process to the long-run equilibrium.

통계청 고용통계 자료에서 실업률의 변동추이를 보면 국내 실업률은 청년층 실업률과 거의 동일한 변동성향을 보이는 것으로 나타나 청년층의 실업이 전체 실업에 지배적 영향을 미치며, 따라서 바로 국가의 실업문제라는 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내실업을 청년실업과 중년실업으로 구분하여 동태방정식 통계모형체계를 이용, 이들의 단기적 변동구조와 장기 적 적응과정을 추정하고 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 청년층이 외환위기 발생 이후 지난 10년간 취업환경 악화의 영향을 더 받았으며, 노동시장에의 진입장벽이 더 높았음을 시사한다. 또한 청년과 중년실업은 외생적 영향이 오래 지속되는 장기변동 성향을 가진 것으로 판별되어 실업률이 감소하지 않고 있는 현실을 그대로 반영하지만 청년실업이 상대적으로 긴 적응과정을 가진 것으로 나타났다.
