The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the economic activities of young adults with disabilities and to suggest what measures should be taken to facilitate their job finding. Although there are serious problems with young adults with disabilities, there isn"t yet careful concern about their problems in Korean society, and it"s specifically meant in this study to analyze the economic activities and job characteristics of these people and the influential factors for their employment.
The findings of the study were as follows: Young adults with disabilities weren"t economically active enough when they were compared with the entire generation of the same age groups, and their jobs weren"t good enough, either. As a result of analyzing what factors affected their job finding, that was under the influence of age, academic credential, whether to be a basic livelihood security recipient or not, whether to be a householder or not, and the type of disability. Older ages led to a higher job-finding probability. As for academic credential, the middle-school graduates and the high-school graduates were less likely to get a job than those who received college or higher education. The young adults who were basic livelihood security recipients were less likely to find a job than the others who weren"t, and the householders were more likely to be employed than the non-householders. Concerning the type of disability, the young adults with mental disorder were more likely to get a job than those with internal physical handicaps. Given the findings of the study, how to increase the employment of young adults with disabilities was suggested.
