ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of youth labor rights by grasping the reality of youth labor rights, and to prepare measures to strengthen youth labor and labor human rights. Methodology: To this end, a survey was conducted on 2,782 adolescents in Yongin City, and FGI was conducted on 6 adolescents and 3 adults. Findings: The result is as follows. First, adolescents had little interest in youth labor rights, and although they had low awareness of labor rights education institutions and organizations and labor human rights ordinances, the need for youth labor human rights education was high. Second, psychological counseling support for grievances regarding youth's demands for labor rights and interests, providing opportunities to meet friends with similar concerns, safety-related information, accurate work-related information guide, labor rights-related apps or websites, and establishment of a labor rights center for youths and the demand for expansion was high. Third, in the general perception of youth work (part-time work), the most important thing to consider when trying to work (part-time job) was the working hours, such as working days, and the second priority was the salary level, such as hourly wage. Fourth, among the youths who had part-time work experience, the majority of youths who started part-time work at the age of 17 were found. And the wages were often on an hourly basis. It was found that basic rights such as writing an employment contract were respected at the part-time job site, but safety education at the beginning of a part-time job was not well conducted. Fifth, the youth who did not have any part-time work experience were thinking of doing a part-time job. It turns out that the reason they want to work part-time is because they want to earn pocket money. Store management was the most desired job for them. Sixth, through FGI, young people work part-time for economic independence, but they do not prepare for a part-time job in advance and are not interested in the labor rights that they need. Conclusions: These results suggest the need for strengthening youth labor and labor human rights education, strengthening safety education, providing policy support on labor human rights and youth labor human rights support organizations, making efforts to change negative perceptions about youth part-time jobs, and reorganizing laws and systems.
