Today, interest in the problem of disabled persons and effort for improving the welfare of disabled persons have increased. The goal of the welfare of disabled persons is based on social unification where all disabled persons organize perfect participation without prejudice and discrimination.
The welfare of disabled persons is to admit respect and value of human, respect their lives, enable them to live in the environment same as that of general persons and not to discriminate them from general persons.
However, prejudice and discrimination of disabled persons are in very serious level. Especially, employment discrimination has caused very serious problems from the viewpoint of living right maintenance of disabled persons.
In the society searching for efficiency and outcome, it is hard to expect that people can protect disabled persons voluntarily. Therefore, government has prepared various policies and systems to employ disabled persons in order to reinforce that.
In May, 2010, economic activity participation rate of disabled persons was 38.5%. It was 23.4% lower than economic activity participation rate of entire population, 61.9%.
Labor is an important means to guarantee income of human and it is directly connected to survival. Therefore, it is one of the most important assignments of human. It gives very critical effect to economic stability, social position of individual and self-realization.
Various opportunities to develop ability should be given to all humans. However, fair employment opportunity is not given to disabled persons by actually restricting the opportunity of disabled persons to participate in ability development process.
It causes difficulty in living, decrease of life quality and deepening of social polarization, hindering social unification. For the life of human, fair opportunity for education and labor is very important and when it comes to the education for developing ability of disabled persons, it is more important.
It is necessary to provide disabled persons with social consideration and opportunity in relation with ability development and employment opportunity of disabled persons that have been restricted so that they can have fair human life by enabling them to detect their talents, giving ability development education and having them fair employment opportunity.
In addition, fair employment opportunity can be a social welfare policy that is proper for the productive welfare of the 21st century. Therefore, the need to provide disabled persons with employment opportunity has been suggested by detecting talents and developing abilities of disabled persons in order to induce social dynamic and productivity.
The study was triggered from the appropriateness to establish the method to equalize employment opportunity of disabled persons with ability development through systematic analyses such as current status analysis, system, policy analysis, pilot study and advanced countries cases study.
The recent trend of advanced countries is that disabled persons are considered as the people with different personalities rather than uncomfortable or insufficient existences of society.
The reason that disabled persons feel uncomfortable or are not free in society is that society does not create the condition to reinforce their talents and enable them to display their abilities.
If their talents are reinforced and properly used, it is possible to achieve the result of social development. As there are various human activities to meet necessary conditions, effective, productive social unification can be achieved when disabled persons and general persons share abilities supplementarily.
Fair employment opportunity through ability development is that employment opportunities are given to all disabled persons without discrimination. The reason to emphasize fair employment opportunity is to enable all people to display their latent abilities without restriction.
Social agreement of democracy is that country should provide all individuals with opportunities to enable them to display their abilities, search for happiness and get the opportunity of self-realization. Today, productive welfare of modern society can be said as a welfare contributing to production and welfare participating in production.
When development abilities of individual are input to welfare field and opportunity to contribute to disabled person's happiness and country is given, it will be a shortcut to real welfare country.
