고령근로자의 직업능력개발훈련 참여가 유사 직종 근로에 미치는 영향 연구

Korea has the highest labor force participation rate among OECD countries, but in the past, the labor force participation of older generations was mainly for income purposes. On the other hand, as the baby boomers who have experienced the old-age income security system enter their old age, they are expected to participate in the labor market for purposes and desires other than income. Under these circumstances, changes in labor market policies for older workers are emerging to strengthen the positive personal and social implications of working in similar jobs for older workers. Therefore, this study analyzed the impact of Vocational ability development training on the similar work of older workers through logistic regression analysis using data from the ‘2022 Economic Activity Survey's Supplementary Survey on the Elderly’. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, the Vocational ability development training of older workers had a significant impact on the likelihood of working in similar jobs. Second, the demographic factors of older workers, such as age, education, region, and spouse, had a significant effect on the likelihood of working in similar jobs. Third, the economic factors and labor market environment factors of older workers, such as whether or not they received a public pension, whether or not they worked for income, the size of the establishment, and whether or not they had a professional or office job, had a significant effect on the likelihood of working in similar jobs. Based on the results of this study, we propose policy directions related to the labor market participation of older workers, and ultimately contribute to utilizing them as useful economic and social resources as the elderly population increases.
