대졸자의 정규직 취업에서 첫 직장 선택의 중요성

Today, the job problem of college graduates has socially become a serious issue, and there is a trap that it is difficult to get out of non-regular workers easily once they are employed as irregular workers. Therefore, this study investigated which factors have an important influence on the regular employment of college graduates. For the empirical analysis, 5,141 samples were finally selected using data from 2017 GOMS (Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey) of the Korea Employment Information Service. As a result of the analysis, the longer the job search period to get the current job, the higher the probability of being a regular worker at the current job and the higher the monthly average earned income. This means that even if the job search period is prolonged, it may be a good option to get a job at the job college graduates want. In addition, when analyzing workers with multiple work experiences, it was found that if they were regular workers at their first job, they were more likely to be regular workers at the current job. And the higher the monthly average earned income at their first job, the higher the monthly average earned income at the current job. These results emphasize the importance of choosing the first job well because the choice of the first job has a great influence on future employment. The results of this study will help college graduates to choose their first job rationally in the future, and will contribute to establishing policy directions for providing decent jobs and improving labor conditions of non-regular workers at the national level.
