ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the youth employment policy on labor market outcomes of Korean youth graduating from college. In order to evaluate the youth employment policy, this study analyzed the youth internship program for small medium-sized enterprises and public institutions. For the analysis, the experimental group and the comparison group were selected using the propensity score matching method based on the participation in the youth internship. The results showed that youth internships for both enterprises and public institutions had a positive effect on the probability of getting employed for their first job. However, there was no positive effect on the employment type or degree of satisfaction on their first jobs. It is worth noting that when youth participated in the public institution internship, they were more likely to be employed as daily temporary workers rather than regular workers. Policy implications are discussed.
