ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to identify a locational pattern of occupational choices of college graduates using a rare event logit model with Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey of Korea. The analysis showed that Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) has a pulling effect on the college graduates of the Non Seoul Metropolitan Area (NSMA) instead of pushing the regional graduates over the nations as a role of incubator of human capital. Although the educational supply of university simply increases in the SMA, it is difficult to distribute human capital over the NSMA on the current situation of the labor market. However, if the NSMA succeeds in generating high-income jobs of the large enterprises, there would be a meaningful out-migration of the graduates of the SMA to the other region. In addition, the job security of companies in the NSMA and their linkages to universities are recognized as key factors to attract them into the NSMA companies.
