MZ세대의 노동조합에 대한 태도 변화

This study analyzed the changes in the perception of the youth generation about the trade unions and their instrumentality. Using data from the 2006 and 2019 labor panels of the Korea Labor Institute, it was confirmed that the MZ youth generation perceived the possibility of improving their socioeconomic status as lower than that of the younger generation who responded to the 2006 data. The authors judged that the leading causes of the lower socio-economic status improvement potential were the discriminatory labor market and lack of opportunity. In this context, the authors hypothesized that the recent generation of young people will perceive union instrumentality to be higher than that of the previous youth. As a result of the analysis, as hypothesized, it was confirmed that the younger generation's awareness of the union's instrumentality toward wages, employment, and fair treatment has increased. At the same time, it was statistically significant that the younger generation's willingness to join the trade unions increased compared to the previous one, and the youth who had already joined the union had a lower intention to withdraw from the trade unions.
