abstract: 'Young Koreans have been experiencing stress and employment barriers due
to progressively worsening employment issues since the late 1990s.
College graduates spend excessive amounts of time job hunting,
necessitating institutional and policy measures to improve their initial
labor-market performance. We, therefore, attempt to empirically analyze
the relevant factors. Focusing on sustainable job quality, company size,
wages, and satisfaction levels for students'' first jobs after
graduation, and we specifically use college education quality and
graduates'' employment-preparation activities as independent variables
and initial labor-market performance as a dependent variable. First, we
measure education quality using vocational education and training,
satisfaction with college education, and studying a language abroad. We
find that they are positively associated with new graduates'' initial
labor-market performance. Second, we measure employment preparation
activities using internship experience, certificates obtained, and
scores on standardized English exams. Internship experiences are
positively associated with new graduates'' initial labor-market
performance. These findings suggest that the Korean government should
focus on establishing a sustainable labor market for new graduates and
offer specific, diverse support programs to improve employment among
young Koreans.'
