Abstract

The problem of youth employment related to the crisis of universities outside the metropolitan area and job satisfaction of university graduates outside the metropolitan area is emerging. In college, it is necessary to find ways to increase satisfaction with jobs after graduation as well as simple employment. Accordingly, this study derived the latent class according to the characteristics before employment and analyzed the difference in job satisfaction level by latent class. The analysis specifically examined the factors affecting the classification of latent classes. This study was conducted with 6,795 university students from outside the Seoul metropolitan area, using the Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey (GOMS) data of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Employment Information Service in 2019. The results of the latent class analysis are as follows: First, the number of latent classes according to the characteristics before employment was 6. Second, as a result of examining whether there is a difference in demographic and occupational characteristics by each group according to the characteristics before employment, there was a significant difference in gender, current full-time job status, age, income, and job satisfaction. Third, as a result of examining factors affecting the latent class according to the characteristics before employment of college graduates, when the first group was the reference group, the job satisfaction was high in the order of 5 group, 2 group, 4 group, 3 group, 6 group and 1 group. This study is important in that it analyzed the factors affecting the job satisfaction and the characteristics of the college graduates outside the metropolitan area at the same time. In addition, it is meaningful in that it reflects the individual difference of pre-employment characteristics in the analysis methodologically.
