다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Minimum wage system aims to protect low income employees as intervening of government in the process of wage bargaining between labor and management to determine the minimum level of wage and to force employer to keep this level with law. In this paper we discuss current issues of minimum wage system in Korea and try to find alternatives to solve problems of minimum wage system.
The Minimum wage system was introduced in 1998 with the purpose of protecting the basic livelihood of workers and improving the quality of workforce by setting nationwide standard for wages. Initially, it was applied only to establishments with 10 or more fulltime workers in the manufacturing sector. As the 'Revision of Enforcement Decree of the Minimum Wage Act' was concluded on December 5, 2006, people working in the surveillance and superintendent fields such as security guards at apartment complexes can benefit from minimum wage requirements from 2007. However, considering the fact that their working conditions and difficulty if their work is somewhat different from other workers, 70% of the minimum wage that will get applied to those working in surveillance and superintendent fields.
