In the fashion industry, the sewing industry was one of the representitive industries which paved the way for modern basis and accomplished the growth of the Korean economy as key industries of Korea. However, at present, the domestic sewing industry failed in a shift in generations because of the poor working conditions and the declination of social understanding like 3D jobs work. For that reason, many points at issue like the graying problem of human power, the decrepit of equipment, and the nation's system(the structural steppingstone which will be accumulated the professional function) has arisen but the breakdown of the fashion sewing industry is caused because the measure for one of them satisfactorily is not prepared. So the weight and dependence of production investment in foreign country get higher.
But a manpower shortage is growing more and more severe because of the increase of personnel expenses casusd by the rapid economic growth in China and foreign producers. These situations endanger production base of Korean clothing manufacture enterprises advanced abroad because of world's financial difficulties and soon mean the collapse of production base of our clothing manufacture. Even if the enterprises desire to change the production base into the interior of country again, they are in a dilemma because of the loss of domestic base.
These situations show the development of fashion industry is expected no more and we will be able not to head for a world-wide fashion power if there is no solution of the problem of the domestic sewing industry which might be the root of the fashion industry.
At present, as the solution for the biggest problem, the man shortage, in the domestic sewing industry, there is somewhat in the purpose of the solution studying for this problem through the educational development of the fashion industry in rehabilitation programs for the homeless. There are a lot of problems to be substitute for the man-power of the homeless of the sewing industry in the fashion industry. However, the homeless are increasing continuously because of two IMF currency crisis of Korean economy, on the other hand, if the sewing industry is collapsed because of the man-power shortage, this studying might be necessary to reduce the vicious circle of the present once after a point at issuet of wo problems is redeemed mutually.
As a method of the study, the present condition of the sewing industry in Seoul is analyzed and is examined through the data collection and the survey of sewing enterprise from the necessary organizations, the Ministry of Labor, the National Statistical Office, the Ministry of Commerce, industry and Energy, and the Sewing Association and so forth. At present, we examine and analyze the actual condition of the rehabilitation program after we survey the recognition degree and concern or unconcern and so forth with the homeless who live in the Seoul shelter as the center. With analyzing the point at issue infered from this, the rehabilitation program of fashion sewing industry be applied for the characteristc of the homeless is developed. To judge the application possibility of the program, the case is studied after the recipient who has the interest and the enthusiasm in the homeless of the shelter is selected.
Through this study, it turned out to be the possibility of the self-support of the homeless who live in the shelter. Here, about 20% in the shelter-homeless have the condition for self-support because they have the basic labor ability and also about 20% of them have the possibility of self-support through the education of the self-support. Also, about 30% have the limitation of the self-support condition and again about 30%, the remnant of them, have the environmental variable which might be the limitation for the self-support according to the circumstance. These results show that it is possible for about 40% in the shelter-homeless being substitute as the man-power of the fashion industry through the education of the fashion self-support. So, after the analysis and complement of the point at issue showed through this study, various programs of the fashion sewing industry be applied for the self-support characteristic of shelter-homeless are developed. So we hope that it has a stable role to maintain the self-support of the homeless, takes out the effect of the job creation the shelter-homeless and becomes a part of fashion industry development after they are trained as the new man-power to be substitute for the master mechanics.
