지난 10년간 남자 청년층(15~29세) 고용률은 44.8%(2003년) → 38.4%(2013년)로 6.4%p 하락하였고, 여자는 43.3%(2003년) → 41.7%(2013년)로 1.6%p 하락하였음.
청년층을 졸업자와 재학생으로 구분해 고용률을 보면, 분석기간 중 졸업자는 약 70%, 재학생은 약 15%로 일정하였으나, 고학력화로 인해 재학생이 증가하여 전체 청년층 고용률이 낮아졌음.
20~24세 남녀 순수고졸의 고용률은 지난 10년 간 약 10%p 하락하였고, 25~29세 남자 순수고졸 및 남자 4년제 대졸자의 고용률도 하락함.
25~29세 여자 고용률은 58.2%(2003년) → 68.8%(2013년)로 10.6%p 상승하였는데, 이는 만혼화와 기혼여성의 고용률 제고에 기인함.
고졸자의 고용률 제고를 위해서는 고졸 채용 기회 확대, 직업훈련 강화, 고용 서비스 제공, 고교 진로지도 강화 등이 필요함

Over the last 10 years, the employment rate of young males (aged 15？29)has dropped by 6.4%p from 44.8% (2003)to 38.4% (2013), while the employment rate of young females has fallen by 1.6%p from 43.3% (2003)to 41.7% (2013).
Looking at employment rates for graduates and those in school, the rates have remained steady during the analysis period, at about70% and about 15%, respectively. However, the increase in the number of students as a result of academic inflation has resulted in a decline in the overall employment rate of young people.
The employment rate of males and females aged between 20and 24 with a high school diploma has dropped by 10%p over the last 10 years, as did the employment rate of 25 to 29-year-old males with a high school diploma and that of four-year college graduates.
The employment rate of25to29-year-old females has increased by 10.6%p from 58.2% (2003) to 68.8% (2013) and the increase is attributed to the trend of late marriages and the increased employment rate of married women.
In order to enhance the employment rate of young people with a high school level of education, it is necessary to expand employment opportunities for high school graduates, strengthen vocational training, provide employment services, and strengthen career guidance in high schools.
