“…Here, a respondent could express his/her preference by choosing the preferred alternative among hypothetical companies in which various combinations of the five attributes were suggested, with all other attributes being equal. Annual salary, weekly working hours, and firm size have been found to be important workplace attributes [29][30][31][32]. Additionally, the present study added the availability of parental leave and a workplace childcare center to the attributes to discern the effect of WFB policies.…”

South Korea needs to actively implement work-family balance policies to increase both the low employment rate of women and the low total fertility rate. This study analyzes the quantitative benefits that the implementation of work-family balance policies provides to employees and employers. We conducted a choice experiment that asked 633 participants about their stated preferences for a hypothetical company with different work-family balance practices. The analysis was performed by using a hierarchical Bayesian model that considered preference heterogeneity according to the respondents' characteristics. The results indicate that the availability of parental leave provides benefits equivalent to an increase of 5.80 million won in annual salary and that offering childcare in the workplace has an effect equivalent to an increase of 5.37 million won in annual salary. Further, low-income groups, women, the younger generation, and parents of preschool children are most sensitive to the policy. Finally, small and medium-sized enterprises are less desirable to work for than large companies, but the implementation of work-family balance policies could change this preference.

“…Factors such as salary, weekly working hours, and firm size are key workplace attributes that have been considered in previous studies [32,34,35]. The salary attribute was specified in accordance with the usual starting salary at Korean firms, ranging from Korean won (KRW) 20 million to KRW 35 million (1 US dollar = 1141 KRW as of 23 April 2019).…”

“…In view of such limitations, this study employed a choice experiment analysis—a methodology for the analysis of stated preference—to examine how workplace preferences change when firms enact WFB policies. While there have been many studies that have applied choice experiments to analyze jobseekers’ preferences for various workplace attributes [32,33,34,35], few have included the availability of WFB policies among such workplace attributes. This study examines the responses of 373 Korean individuals in their twenties and thirties—age groups that are most active in pursuing job seeking activities while also standing to benefit most from WFB policies—regarding their preferences for hypothetical firms that vary in the extent to which they implement WFB policies.…”

Korea is facing problems, such as inequality within society and an aging population, that places a burden on public health expenditure. The active adoption of policies that promote work-family balance (WFB), such as parental leave and workplace childcare centers, is known to help solve these problems. However, there has, as yet, been little quantitative evidence accumulated to support this notion. This study used the choice experiment methodology on 373 Koreans in their twenties and thirties, to estimate the level of utility derived from work-family balance policies. The results show that willingness to pay for parental leave was found to be valued at 7.81 million Korean won, while it was 4.83 million won for workplace childcare centers. In particular, WFB policies were found to benefit workers of lower socioeconomic status or belonging to disadvantaged groups, such as women, those with low education levels, and those with low incomes. Furthermore, the utility derived from WFB policies was found to be greater among those who desire children compared to those who do not. The results suggest that the proactive introduction of WFB policies will help solve problems such as inequality within society and population aging.

This book contains the full text of papers and posters presented at the International Conference on Education and New Developments (END 2020), organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (W.I.A.R.S.), that this year had to be transformed into a fully Virtual Conference as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic.Education, in our contemporary world, is a right since we are born. Every experience has a formative effect on the constitution of the human being, in the way one thinks, feels and acts. One of the most important contributions resides in what and how we learn through the improvement of educational processes, both in formal and informal settings.The International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the processes, actions, challenges and outcomes of learning, teaching and human development. The goal is to offer a worldwide connection between teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields, interested in exploring and giving their contribution in educational issues. We take pride in having been able to connect and bring together academics, scholars, practitioners and others interested in a field that is fertile in new perspectives, ideas and knowledge.We counted on an extensive variety of contributors and presenters, which can supplement our view of the human essence and behavior, showing the impact of their different personal, academic and cultural experiences. This is, certainly, one of the reasons we have many nationalities and cultures represented, inspiring multi-disciplinary collaborative links, fomenting intellectual encounter and development.
