Are Highly Educated Young Women Underutilized? Gender Differences in the Wage Penalties of Overqualification in South Korea
Rapid tertiary-education expansion has increased overqualification in South Korea, but its wage consequences may differ by gender and by how mismatch is measured. Using Youth Panel 2007 (waves 2007–2020) and measures of overeducation and overskilling, this paper estimated pooled OLS and individual fixed-effects models. In pooled estimates overeducation was associated with lower wages for both genders, while the penalty from simultaneous overeduca…
Determinants of Job Satisfaction among Doctorate Holders
This study aims to analyze the determinants of job satisfaction among doctorate holders in South Korea, with a particular focus on the relationship between over-education and job satisfaction. Unlike most previous studies, this paper considers overall job satisfaction as well as six different domains of job satisfaction (promotion opportunities, intellectual challenge, level of responsibility, level of autonomy, contribution to society, and socia…
Doctoral Education, Job Mismatch, and Wage Consequences in South Korea
This study extends the previous literature on the wage effects of over-education, focusing on young doctorate holders (DHs). It also contributes to the conventional over-education literature on a causal relationship between over-education and wages by implementing techniques of propensity score matching (PSM). By tackling potential bias as a consequence of omitted variable bias via the PSM strategy, this study provides evidence of the negative in…
Application of Single-Particle Mass Spectrometer to Obtain Chemical Signatures of Various Combustion Aerosols
A single-particle mass spectrometer (SPMS) with laser ionization was constructed to determine the chemical composition of single particles in real time. The technique was evaluated using various polystyrene latex particles with different sizes (125 nm, 300 nm, 700 nm, and 1000 nm); NaCl, KCl, MgCO 3 , CaCO 3 , and Al 2 O 3 particles with different chemical compositions; an internal mixture of NaCl and KCl; and an internal mixture of NaCl, KCl, an…
Education-Job Mismatch and Gender Wage Gap
Germany's occupational and sectoral change towards a knowledge-based economy calls for high returns on education.Nevertheless, female graduates are paid much less than their male counterparts.We find an overall unadjusted gender pay gap among German graduates of 27 %.This corresponds to an approximate wage gap of 32.5 % thereof 20,3 % account for different endowments and 12,2 % for different remunerations of characteristics.Suboptimal job matches…
Educational Mismatch and Skill Mismatch in the Youth Labor Market
Most prior research on labor market mismatch was constrained by the unavailability of data on skill mismatch and also the absence of panel data which would provide controls for unmeasured heterogeneity. This paper makes use of the panel element of Korea Labor & Income Panel Survey ( KLIPS ) data and identifies the wage effects of educational mismatch and skill mismatch both separately and jointly. It clearly shows that only a small proportion of …
Over-Education and Job Mobility among Young Korean Female Graduates
Using data from the 2009 Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey (GOMS) covering Korean female graduates making their transition from college to labor market, this paper examines the incidence and the effects of over-education on job mobility. Contrary to most prior research in the literature, this study considered individual heterogeneity in perceived skills mismatch to measure education-job mismatch. In regard to the prevalence of over-education…
English Language and Skill Mismatch
Most prior research addressing the topic of job mismatch focuses on educational mismatch, while the economic analysis of skills-job mismatch in terms of skill utilization has received relatively little attention in the literature. Using the 2007 Korea Labor and Income Panel Survey (KLIPS), this paper examines the impact on wages of skills-job mismatch between acquired and required English language proficiency in the Korean workplace. The major fi…
Gender Wage Differentials among Disabled People
Empirical analysis for the comparison of gender differences among disabled people has been relatively neglected in the literature on discrimination. This paper using data from the 2008 PSED investigates gender wage differentials among the disabled in Korea. The selectivity corrected decomposition framework is employed to examine what factors - endowments, discrimination, and selectivity - account for the wage gap. The main results presented in th…
