대학 소재지에 따른 청년의 노동시장 이행 궤적 분석: 수도권과 지방대학 졸업생의 비교를 중심으로

The purpose of this study was to understand the change in the status of youth in the labor market and to provide implications for facilitating youth employment by categorizing and comparing the trajectory of labor market transition according to the university’s location. Economic status data of 8 years(96 months) of 955 graduates(2007~2011) who graduated from university of youth panel was used to analyze the trajectory of labor market transition. The method of analysis used group-based trajectory analysis and difference analysis. The main research results are as follows. First, the labor market transition of local university graduates was higher in volatility and incompleteness than those in metropolitan areas. Relatively, the proportion of graduates from the metropolitan area entering and maintaining regular jobs was high, and in the long run, the ratio of local university graduates to non-wage labor was high. Second, regardless of where the university was located, women were in poor positions in the labor market. Women were less likely to enter regular jobs than men, or were converted into non-economically active populations or non-wage labor after entring. Third, in the transition of labor market status by majors, entry into regular jobs by graduates of humanities from local universities was limited. Fourth, there was no significant difference between certificate acquisition and career counseling in the process of labor market transition. Based on the results of these studies, the following suggestions were made. Reinforcing institutional approach to promote entry and maintenance of labor market for local university graduates, improving local labor market and facilitating linkage with universities, and customized employment and career support for women and liberal arts students.
