contents The effect of labour market polarization on university students’ job market‐related outcomes in the Republic of Korea: implications for youth unemployment Sungyup Chung This article aims to assess the effect of the labour market environment on university students’ labour market‐related behaviour in the Republic of Korea. Using data from the country's Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey for 2005–13, the author estimates the effect of macroeconomic variables on university students’ job market‐related outcomes. Results indicate that labour market polarization, as measured by the labour market polarization index developed by Chung and Jung (2016), has a significant effect on both the nominal and masked (through extension of university enrolment and university transfers) unemployment of university students. These findings imply that the labour market structure is a key element in understanding youth unemployment. 10.1111/ilr.12097 DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/ilr.12097 publication.journalArticle
