Abstract

본 연구는 퇴직 전 후 중고령자가 빠르게 변화하는 노동시장 환경에 조기 대처하여 준비할 수 있도록 하는 효율적인 '국가 진로전환 지원 체제'를 구축하고, 중고령자의 고용촉진을 극대화 하기 위한 개선 방안을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 중고령자 진로전환과 관련한 이론적 배경을 탐색하고, 국내의 중고령자 진로전환 지원 현황 및 진로전환 지원 실태, 주요국의 중고령자 진로전환 지원 실태를 분석하였다. 아울러 중고령자 진로전환 지원 체제 구축 방안도 제시하였다. 중고령자 진로전환 지원 체제 구축 방안에는 기본 방향과 전략, 중고령자 진로전환 지원 체제 및 다양한 개선 과제를 제시하였다. ○ 주요내용 - 중고령자 진로전환에 대한 이론적 배경 - 중고령자 진로전환 지원 현황 분석 - 중고령자 진로전환 실태 분석 - 주요국의 중고령자 진로전환 지원 실태 분석 - 중고령자 진로전환 지원 체제 및 개선 방안

Though many middle-aged workers are capable of working for quite a long time, they worry about the precariousness of retirement, whether voluntary or not, owing to domestic and international factors such as early retirement, high unemployment and the acceleration of the inflow of foreign workers to domestic companies due to recent FTA agreements. Meanwhile, the government is considering various political options for resolving this situation of employment precariousness so that working lives can be prolonged. In South Korea, an aging society with a low birth rate, a policy that encourages the extension & activation of the market participation of middle-aged workers is inclined toward quantitative policy accomplishment that simply creates many jobs or prolongs the employment period, a policy that is not adequate to support the employment competencies of the middle-aged. This research, based on this necessity and reason, suggest improvement schemes to establish a government support system for efficient career transition, enabling the middle-aged to react early and prepare for the rapidly-changing labor market environment before and after retirement, while maximizing the promotion of the employment of the middle-aged. For this research project, it was established as research contents that analyses of the theoretical background & current status of career transition support for the middle-aged, as well as the Career Transition Support System(CTSS) program and the CTSS status of major developed countries would be conducted, as well as an investigation of documentary research, expert research, research for recognition & demand on career transition of the middle-aged, expert conferences and policy forums.
