Features: This book explains the development history of modern Korean labor relations, the labor-capital relations system, the development of the labor market, and government responses to labor surplus. It also introduces the history of Korean labor movements and the development of trade unions, as well as the labor dispute and dispute resolution system. In terms of research methods, the author comprehensively applies theories from disciplines such as management, economics, psychology, sociology, education, law, political science, and anthropology. In the author's writing, these theories are not isolated but organically integrated into a rigorous logical framework, as the author points out in the postscript, the entire book attempts to answer two questions: First, why was the Korean economy able to maintain high-speed development in the 1960s and 1970s; and second, why did the Korean economy experience rapid growth after the 1980s but slow down, and labor-capital relations began to deteriorate. Target Audience: Managers and policymakers in labor administration departments.
