Abstract

This study aims to overcome the limitations of prior studies that have failed to take into account the impact of psycho-social factors on the employment of people with disabilities as well as the differences in employment by life stage. This study employs a research model that includes psycho-social factors along with human capital to examine how the determinants of employment differ for the disabled by life stage. The analysis in this study takes the form of logistic regression, using data from the fifth wave of the Korea Welfare Panel Survey. Analysis results show that the employment probability of young people with disabilities is significantly associated with their experience of discrimination, with their chance of employment decreasing when they have more experience of discrimination. Middle-aged people with disabilities are more likely to be employed when they have a lower level of education, a better health condition and a higher level of labor ability. For the disabled elderly, their labor ability is the only factor affecting their possibility of employment; they have a higher chance of getting a job when they have a higher level of labor ability.

본 연구는 장애인 고용의 결정변인에 관한 선행연구가 심리적 특성이 고용에 미치는 영향을 배제했으며, 생의 단계에 따른 고용 결정변인의 차이를 고려하지 못했다는 문제의식으로부터 출발했다. 이와 같은 문제의식에서 본 연구는 첫째, 선행연구에서 고용의 주요 영향요인으로 규명되어 온 인적자본과 함께 심리적 특성을 중심으로 장애인 고용의 결정변인을 규명하고 둘째, 연령집단에 따라 장애인 고용의 결정변인에 어떤 차이가 있는지 밝히고자 했다. 한국복지패널 5차년 자료의 장애인부가조사에 참여한 18세 이상 장애인 1280명의 자료를 이용해 이항로지스틱 분석을 수행했다. 분석결과, 18세에서 40세 이하의 청장년 장애인은 차별을 받은 심리적 경험만이 고용가능성을 유의미하게 낮추었으며, 교육 등 인적자본은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 41세 이상 64세 이하의 중년 장애인은 교육수준이 낮고, 건강상태는 높으며, 근로능력이 높을수록 고용 가능성이 유의미하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 65세 이상의 노년 장애인은 근로능력만이 고용가능성을 유의미하게 결정하는 것으로 분석되었다.
