Abstract

This paper studies the effect of job training for non-regular employees in the Korea labor market. Using an economically active population data set of statistics Korea, we apply a non-parametric matching and sensitivity analysis method to measure the effect of the training for non-regular employees and to look for the impact of an unobservable variable or confounding factor in regards to the selection effect and outcome effect. In the our empirical results, we conclude that the effect of the training for non-regular employees has a better employment effect for getting a regular job rather than a wage effect; in addition, the impact of unobservable variables or confounding factors do not exercise a statistically strong influence on the baseline ATT.

비정규직 재직자 직업능력개발에 대한 훈련 효과 추정을 위해 이 연구에서는 통계청의 경활 자료와 비모수적 매칭 방법을 사용하였다. 추정결과 재직자 직업능력개발 훈련은 정규직 자에게는 정규직 유지가능성을 높이고 비정규직 자에게는 임금보다는 정규직 전환확률을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 미관찰 요인에 의한 추정결과의 강건성을 알아보는 민감도 분석에서는 미관찰 요인은 추정결과에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
