Yoon-Tai, Kim; Chung-il, Yun
This report presents information on a study to project labor force demand in Korea against the existent capacity of supply and to explore corrective measures to ensure balance between demand and supply. Chapter I describes the background and goals of the study. Chapter II examines human resource developmentt of Korea in the period 1961-1979 with special attention to the relationship between labor force structure and economic growth. Analysis is made of total population, economically active population, school population, the current system of vocational training, and employment trends by industry, occupation, and education level. Chapter III describes models for the projection of demand for and supply of labor and presents statistical data projected by these models by industry and by occupation. Chapter IV examines the sources of labor supply in relation to projected demand and additional requirements in a long-term perspective. Chapter V explains the gap between supply and demand and concludes by suggesting three strategies for labor force development: qualitative development of higher education, strengthening of technical education and vocational training, and improvement of the labor force development system. Sixty-six data tables and 12 diagrams are provided. Projected data related to demand and supply in all occupations are appended. (YLB)
