일본 노동시장의 변화와 정책대응 = Youth Une ployment and labor policy in contemporary Japan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, first I try to sketch the changing Japanese labor market after 1990s, and then examine the so-called "Job Caf program" in detail, which was initiated in 2004 by central and local governments to help young people find suitable jobs, and finally investigate the possible direction for future labor policy as an important tool for revitalize the local economy. Latter half of 1990s witnessed the high unemployment rate among the population aged twenties in Japan, and the number of 'shinsotsu-mugyo', i.e. population not at work after completing high school or university, NEET (not in employment, education or training) and 'freeters' have grown rapidly. "Job Caf program" was initiated as a public response to the increased youth unemployment, aiming at assisting young people's transition from education to career. In the job cafprogram, job information service by MHLW, information service for high school students and university students by MEXT, placement service of career internship by METI are integrated into one service, and are provided by local government initiative, therefore named as "one stop service of employment". Although it is highly appreciated for one stop service, the job caf program has criticized for paying too much attention to the performance of projects, such asthe number of users, and the number of successful job matching. At the final section of the paper, more practical spatial unit for executing effective regional plan on local employment and more empirical research on job search behavior are discussed.

본 연구에서는 거품경제의 붕괴 이후 일본 노동시장의 변화를 개관하고, 점차 늘어나는 청년실업대책으로써 2004년 중앙정부와 지방자치단체가 공동으로 실시한「Job-cafe사업」 을 분석하였다. 그리고 지역정책으로서의 노동정책은 앞으로 어떻게 수립되고 실시되어야 하는가를 논의하였다. 일본에서는 거품경제의 붕괴 이후 청년 실업률이 상승하여「新卒無業」과「NEET」가 급격하게 증가하였다. 그 결과 졸업 후에 원활하게 취직할 수 있도록 하기 위하여「Job-cafe사업」을 실시하게 되었다. 「Job-cafe사업」은 후생성의구직정보 서비스, 경제산업성의 취직인턴정보 서비스, 문부과학성의 취업알선 서비스를 통합하여, 지방자치단체가 주도적으로 추진하
