last month 'Employment Crisis' The number of employees last month was 2,6562,000, and 476,000 people decreased a year ago. This is the largest decline since February 1999, when the financial crisis was in the aftermath. 15 years the employment rate is also 1.4% p, down 59.4% from a year ago, fell to the level in 2010 (Source: Statistics).
Korea Labor and Society Institute that employed 102 million decreased only between February and April, two months this year, He also published analysis results. It is a job crisis, a job crisis.
But the odd thing about the employment trend of the National Statistical Office last month was that the unemployment rate fell. The unemployment rate last month was 4.2%, down 0.2% p from last year. This is because the employment rate of those in their 20s and 30s has decreased by more than 2% p. What happened in the worst job crisis?
is because the non-economically active population has increased. The unemployment rate is measured on the basis of the unemployed among the population over the age of 15, excluding the non-economically active population. A non-economically active population is people who do not have the ability to work or have the ability to do so, but have no intention. The unemployment rate is bound to decrease if the number of people in the economically active population who do not intend to work increases to the non-economically active population.
Last month, the non-economically active population increased by 831,000 compared to a year ago. Of these, job seekers increased by 124,000 more than last year. In other words, even if you want to get a job, you can't get a job, so you gave up and got out of the unemployment rate statistics. You can see that Corona 19 has even taken away the hope of finding a job in the 20s and 30s.
There is an urgent need to expand social safety nets such as employment insurance and to cut the bones to maintain employment in the government and business world, as well as to help young people jump into the workplace with the will to work.
So the government's policy is to provide 550,000 new jobs with government money. We plan to create 400,000 jobs in the public sector and 150,000 jobs in the private sector.
First of all, he announced that he would create 100,000 non-face-to-face, digital jobs that would help develop youth careers in the public sector. In order to resolve the livelihood of livelihood among the low-income, the unemployed, and the vulnerable, 300,000 public jobs linked with local governments are also provided.
In the private sector, when small and medium-sized companies hire young people, they support 100,000 young people in a way that supports labor costs for up to six months. The job will be reflected in the third supplementary plan with the goal of implementing in the second half.
to guarantee job continuity , but it is pointed out that the government-sponsored jobs are not enough to solve the difficulties of the young and unemployed. It is only a short-term part-time job supported for up to 6 months, and it is focused on simple work and simple labor rather than building a career.
Looking at the jobs that the government exemplified,
1. Construction of public data in central , regional and public institutions, opening and improving quality / 2. Construction of datasets for machine learning such as scientific and technical papers and research reports / 3. Online lectures in universities and elementary and middle schools Education support / 4. Creation of marketing contents for traditional market / 5. Construction of safety and health big data for implementation of industrial accident prevention policy / 6. Construction of DB for research and handling of harmful substances handled by labs in universities and research institutes / 7. Prevention of tourist sites, small performance halls, medical institutions, etc.
There are seven.
First of all, the most common tasks are building a database, that is, collecting data. For digital work, it seems to be the main task for most young people to classify data.
An official from the government said that in the case of science and technology dissertation and research report projects, it would be the most basic task to dataize and divide hundreds and thousands of dissertations and reports by field. Some of the majors will be devoted to the basics of building AI, but most are likely to be simple labor.
The Industrial Accident Prevention Division and the investigation of harmful substances in universities and research institutes will be directly invested in business sites and laboratories to be used as field investigation personnel. The main task is to investigate what harmful substances are handled in over 70,000 laboratories nationwide and to organize the data.
Like the government's wishes, there seems to be a great concern that young people will stop at 'simple labor' rather than build a career and develop themselves. Their working conditions are a short-term part-time job with a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 6 months. Monthly wages range from 1.8 million won to 2.5 million won, the minimum wage level.
The private job support project is also limited to the government subsidizing the employment subsidy for six months. Since it is difficult to maintain the existing manpower, it is impossible to maintain employment after six months from the point of view of workplaces that apply for employment maintenance subsidy or even take unpaid leave.
Minister of Employment and Labor, Lee Jae-gap, said the key is the bridge between youth and business .
"We will actively induce a transition to a sustainable job by linking with the 'Korean version of the New Deal' so that it does not stop at the temporary effect."
That's right. The key is sustainable jobs. In the worst job crisis, it is imperative that the government invest money to supply short-term jobs. But that direction should be sustainable, and it should be able to guarantee jobs to young people.
However, this announcement is missing. Seong Tae-yoon, professor of economics at Yonsei University, pointed out that "these job measures seem to support 'simple jobs' and 'cash' rather than to accumulate practical human resources." It is pointed out that it is less effective than the financial input. Professor Sung said, “It will be difficult for governmental financial support to be provided for more than six months. It is important to create a link between the private sector and jobs after financial support.” "You shouldn't focus on job statistics or numbers," he added.
'Corona' will be a bigger disaster for young people who are in college and run into the job market when they have to look into the 'future' rather than 'shame' . Companies have closed their jobs and cannot guarantee when they will be open. Even if the company you wanted to go to goes bankrupt and disappears, the era of weirdness is the 'corona era'. What is needed for the 'Corona Generation' living in this period is support for preparing for 'Post Corona', where the corona virus is spread, and after it has been overcome.
Bae Gyu-sik, director of the Korea Labor Institute, pointed out that "this period can have a negative impact on the whole life of 'corona generations' who have never had a job opportunity." If you don't have the opportunity or experience to work at the right time, it may be difficult to enter the labor market in the future.
To do this, the government and the company say that they need accurate support for the 'corona generation'. It is not important to support simple jobs and wages and increase the employment rate. "After the virus is overcome, companies must educate the necessary personnel first through internships, etc., and the government should put money into helping young people gain careers and learn skills to work," said Bae.
Nobody knows when the corona virus will end. The longer the corona is, the worse the job crisis and job crisis will be. That's why jobs should be prepared more carefully. Long-term measures, rather than temporary measures, should be prepared to accommodate jobs that have changed since the corona ended.
