SBM 초효율성 분석을 이용한 취약계층 고용형 한국 사회적협동조합의 사회·경제적 성과 분석: 지역별과 업종별

The purpose of this study is to analyze the magnitude and difference in the socioeconomic performance of Korean Social Cooperatives for the hard-to-employ population by sector and region using the SBM super-efficiency method under the assumption of variable returns to scale. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the social service sector is more efficient than other sectors. In terms of average efficiency of the social service industry in metropolitan and regional areas, the social cooperatives in regional areas have higher average efficiency. As regards other sectors, social cooperatives in metropolitan areas indicate higher efficiency values than those in regional areas. Second, according to region, the average efficiency of social cooperatives in rural areas is higher than that in metropolitan areas. The average efficiency of social cooperatives in the social service sector is high in both metropolitan and rural areas. Third, the analysis of the difference in the distribution of efficiency by type using the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test indicates that there is a difference in average efficiency among sectors, but not among regions. However, a detailed regional analysis indicates that there is a difference in average efficiency between the social service sector and other sectors in metropolitan areas. Based on the results of the empirical analysis, this paper suggests policy implications for scaling through cooperation and network expansion, active support for the employment of the hard-to-employ population and marketing support for increase in sales by both the central government and local governments. In addition, this paper proposes the exploration of diverse business models that use specialized local resources.
