In a knowledge based society where the competitiveness of a country's economy is determined by human capital and knowledge, human resource development policies are key to promoting economic development. This study looks at Korea's current HRD related conditions and institutions with a view to suggesting the optimal HRD policy system for the future. The study begins by considering the HRD vision, here meaning sustainable economic growth and improvement in quality of life, and policy environment. It considers Korea’s national vision and overall policy environment and comes up with HRD policies that are aligned with it. Also suggested is a framework for HRD policies. The study then moves on to HRD policies and relevant laws. It looks at the relationship between HRD and laws and examines in greater detail the specific legal provisions. It provides an overview of the Human Resource Development Law. It also considers the change in the role of the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development due to the amendment of laws. The chapter on the HRD related laws ends with a review of the revised HRD Law. The following chapter considers the budgetary issues. It provides the current government spending on HRD and makes some recommendations for more effective use of public funds for the development of human capital. Some of the suggestions focus on collaboration and division of roles and responsibilities among government for greater efficiency. It also suggests the introduction of an information-evaluation system as an alternative way of enhancing efficiency. The fourth chapter looks at the IT infrastructure aspect of HRD policies development and implementation with a special focus on e-Learning. The fifth chapter considers the linkage between innovation in the supply and demand of human resources and HRD. It begins with an examination of the structural linkage then moves on to changes in the environment and conditions of supply and demand of human resources. A list of tasks for innovating the supply and demand policies are identified. The chapter closes with some implications. The sixth chapter reviews the relationship between R&D and HRD. It starts off by comparing the status and trends of R&D investment in Korea and in other developed countries. The next part of the chapter offers a review of previous academic works and theories on the relationship between R&D and education. It moves on to an estimation of contribution by education and R&D in economic development and considers the implications. The seventh chapter deals with the evaluation of HRD policies. It summarizes the theoretical background in HRD policy evaluation. It recounts the progress in the first and second years of the policy evaluation and comes up with a plan for improving the current policy evaluation framework based on the findings from previous evaluations. The study concludes with a number of policy suggestions that pertain to each of the areas considered in the previous chapters.
