장애인가구의 소비패턴 특성 및 결정요인: 빈곤여부와 가구유형을 중심으로 = The Consumption Patterns of the household with the disabled members : Depending on Poverty Status and Household Type

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to identify the consumption patterns of the households with the disabled members in Korea, depending on poverty status and household types. In addition, the factors determined by the consumption pattern were explored by categorizing their patterns of households with disabled members. To this end, K-means cluster analysis and logit analysis were used. As a result, consumption patterns were classified into four groups as follows: (1) food expenditure type, (2) health care expenditure type, (3) voucher expenditure type, and (4) relationship expenditure type. If the households with the disabled members are poor, they are likely to be food expenditures. And if they are living alone, they are likely to be voucher expenditures. To date, the households with the disabled members have been regarded as low-income households and assumed to be groups with the same needs. However, just as the consumption pattern was divided into four, it can be confirmed that even the same group has different needs. Therefore, intervention of policy is required for each consumption pattern in consideration of diverse needs of households with disabled members. Especially, food expenditure type, health care expenditure type, and voucher expenditure type are more vulnerable character than relationship expenditure type.
