|
The number of disabled person is increasing, and also the demand of welfare is increasing. In the developed country, the range of disabled person is broad, because the definition of disability is different among countries. On 10/Apr, 2007, the law to forbid discrimination against disabled person was announced and then it will be operated on 11/Apr, 2008, in Korea. It will need to evaluate conflict between this law and underwriting guideline. There is obvious difference between disabled and non-disabled on risk selection of medical and environmental aspect. More than 50% of disabilities are related to the diseases rather than accident. The role of underwriter is to evaluate the future risk of morbidity (admission and/or operation etc). The insurance company is required to make new product for disabled person and the underwriter has to examine the application of disabled without discrimination, and with respect for the disabled as a human right.
