시간선택제 활성화의 과제와 한계

The Korean government has introduced new brand name of "Permanent Part-time Work" or "Time Selective Work System" in 2013 rather than the existing part-time work to increase the employment rates under serious unemployment in women and young people. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the actual conditions of part-time work in the major four countries, and to suggest the tasks and limitations of Korea’s permanent part-time work. First, I have summarized several background theories as like labor flexibility theory, dual labor market theory, work time sovereignty, working time types, and theory of women’s dual roles in the part-time work sectors. Second, I have investigated the actual conditions in part-time work of Netherlands, Germany, Japan and Korea. Netherlands and Germany have high rates of part-time work in European Union(EU), but those are model countries in decent job of income, benefits and working time. And Japan has developed very detailed action programs and implementation methods in so called regular part-time employees. Third, I have suggested, the tasks in working conditions(income and welfare, working time), performance appraisal, training and development in the permanent part-time work. Lastly, I have pointed out the limitations of permanent part-time work that is called atypical work types in another name of the existing part-time work, and anxiety in sustainability of policy, passive attitudes of employers and workers ect.
