평생직업능력개발 체제의 혁신(Ⅱ) : 훈련재정 시스템 실증 분석

Abstract

우리나라에서 직업능력개발에 대한 재원 조달 및 지원은 고용보험 직업능력개발 사업을 중심으로 운영되고 있다. 이는 산업화 시기의 직업훈련 의무제를 90년대 중후반 이후부터 대신한 것으로, 그간 기업과 근로자의 직업능력개발 활성화에 적지 않게 기여하여 왔다. 그러나 이러한 제도 자체의 타당성과 세부적인 제도적 쟁점들에 대한 실증 분석은 충분히 이뤄지지 않았다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 현재 우리나라 직업훈련 재정 시스템의 제도적 쟁점들에 대한 경험적 분석을 시도하고 이로부터 향후 직업훈련 재정 시스템 발전에 대한 시사점을 모색하고 있다.
