부산 20대 청년의 교육 및 노동시장 이행 경로: 주요 지자체와의 비교 = Transition Paths of Education and Labor Market for Youth in their 20s in Busan: Compared to major municipalities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Local governments establish and promote various youth policies, but youth's awareness and interest in these policies is low. This study starts with the question, “How can we bridge the gap between these youth policies and youth?” This study specifically focuses on education and labor market transitions as important paths in the life of youth in their 20s, comparing youth in Busan with those in major local governments. The results show that individuals in their 20s in Busan have the largest proportion of "college graduate-unemployed”compared to the nation and other cities like Seoul, Incheon, Daegu, and Gwangju. They also spend more time in college and preparing for employment than their counterparts in these regions. Additionally, women in their 20s in Busan take longer to get their first job after graduating from college compared to women in Seoul and men in Busan. Overall, the characteristics of youth in their 20s in Busan provide a snapshot of the educational and labor market transition paths of young people in non-metropolitan areas. In short, the implication of this study is to suggest new directions for youth policy and improve its quality by focusing on the life transition paths of youth.
