ABSTRACT

This paper examines the employment status of the age groups of 50-64 and empirically analyzes the characteristics of their employment in terms of "decent" jobs. The age groups are given less chances of employment than the groups of the 40s in general, and of decent jobs in particular. The most disadvantage groups among them are those of old age, low education levels and housewives. Human capitals and family status of them prevented their chance of holding good jobs, which led to less chance of decent jobs even in the age of 50-64. These findings provide significant policy implications. The government should provide decent jobs with adequate income and stable employment conditions as well as more job opportunities. We also need labor market system to link the job seekers and providers, and such public rules as higher retirement age and wage-peak systems.
