목적 : 본 연구는 장애인 의무고용제도의 인지정도와 그에 따른 고용증대 도움정도가 장애인의 건강상태에 미치는 영향력을 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 장애인 의무고용제도에 대한 인지를 높여 장애인들의 건강을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 데에 목적이 있다. 방법 : 본 연구에서는 장애인의 경제활동 참여에 대해 분석하기 위하여 2016-2018년 장애인고용패널조사 2차웨이브를 활용하였다. 총 1,648명을 대상으로 카이제곱 검정과 일반화추정방정식(GEE, Generalized estimating equation)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 장애인 의무고용제도를 알고 있는 집단에 비해 전혀 모르는 집단인 경우 인지정도가 주관적 건강상태 (Odds Ratio [OR] : 1.573, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] : 1.252-1.977)와 만성질환(OR: 1.407, 95%CI: 1.091-1.816)에 유의하게 영향을 미쳤고, 장애인 의무고용제도가 고용증대에 도움이 된다는 집단에 비해 전혀 도움이 안 된다는 집단의 경우 우울감 (OR: 2.330, 95% CI: 1.219-4.452)과 주관적 건강상태 (OR: 2.052, 95% CI: 1.232-3.416) 에 유의하게 영향을 미쳤다. 결론 : 장애인의 의무고용제도 인지정도와 도움정도가 낮을수록 건강상태에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장애인에 대한 고용제도 인지정도를 높여 고용증대를 촉진해야 한다. 나아가 장애인의 건강을 증진시키기 위하여 제도에 대한 장애인의 이해도를 제고할 수 있는 홍보방안과 고용접근의 어려움으로 인해 취업의지를 상실하는 장애인들을 보호할 수 있는 정책 등이 발안되어, 장애인이 고용활동에 참여할 수 있도록 장애친화적인 노동환경으로의 변화가 활성화되어야 한다.
