韓國에서의 地域間 賃金隔差構造와 隔差原因究明에 關한 硏究

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It’s frequently observed that labor wages differ greatly from region to region in developed countries as well as developing countries. This difference brings about various regional economic problems.
The purpose of this study is to inquire into the structure and causes of the regional wage differentials in Korea. In regards to the structure of regional wage differentials, it is founded that local effect (competitive effect & allocation effect) is more important and sensitive to regional wage differentials than industrial mix effect. There are four main explanatory variables to be related to the variaticns of regional wage rates among regions : the education level the percent of non-skilled workers, the urbanization rate and the degree of agglomeration of establishments.
The findings of this study suggest that it’s very important in reducing regional economic inequalities to train and redistribute human capital regionally, promote urbanization, and increase industrial agglomeration economies.
