퇴직전문인력 활용에 관한 한·일 비교연구

The present study aims to explore efficient methods of managing systematic support forprofessional retirees in Korea by comparing and analyzing the existing policies of the twocountries. The increase in the number of retired professionals from large enterprises, publicorganizations, and financial institutions has been expedited by both the restructuring of companiesand the massive retirement of the baby boom generation who have just reached the retiring age. Although measures to sponsor retirees are being created by public organizations, governmententerprises as well as private organizations and private companies, they have yet to achieve thefundamental goal of fully re-employing the excess work force. Therefore, the need to examine the government’s policies regarding the retired professionalscan no longer be neglected. Further, a strategic alternative measure to support and establish therequired policies must be proposed. In Japan, from early on, the retired professionals of the bigbusinesses, with the highly applicable know-how accumulated over the years, have cometogether and organized Nonprofit organizations and cooperatives to assist in solving the problemsregarding technology and manpower that the small and medium sized companies may have. Infact, the retired professional workforce is contributing to society by creating nonprofitorganizations and working with the local manufacturing small and medium businesses. As can been seen by the Japanese model, it is necessary to establish an agency which isresponsible for re-utilizing highly skilled and experienced workforce which should be regarded as“industrial resources” beneficial to small and medium businesses. The active pursuit ofredistributing retired professionals who are highly skilled with years of experience should beregarded as making use of the readily available "industrial resources" rather than creating jobs forthe elderly from the economic and industrial perspective.
