This study explores legislation process of Disability Discrimination Act in S. Korea focusing on social exclusion and participation through social action approach. I can find a thing in common in that both of disability and social exclusion are concerned with the relationship between majority and minority. Therefore we need to lay emphasis on the social model of disability to overcome social exclusion. When we explore the legislation process of Disability Discrimination Act, we recognize that the legislation is mainly due to a great deal of effort of the disabled, especially the Disability Discrimination Act Solidarity of Korea. So researchers need to focus on the social action approach to overcome social exclusion. In addition social workers have to analyze the macrosystem as well as microsystem to overcome the social exclusion of the disabled. Besides the course of macro practice should include the community organization skills focused on the social action approach.

It was in the 1990s that the human rights of persons with disabilities began to be discussed in our society. Based on the Declaration on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1975, the Charter on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted on December 8, 1988. The human rights of persons with disabilities explains the important meaning of not being discriminated against just because they are persons with disabilities, the basics of human rights that all human beings have. The human rights of persons with disabilities are universal values, a basic right, and a declaration to protect the socially disadvantaged. Human rights are an important ideology that deals with the dignity and worth of human beings. In our society, people with disabilities should not be discriminated against for any reason. Persons with disabilities should be the center in matters related to the Anti-Discrimination Act and Human Rights. In addition, it can be said that it is necessary to develop and operate a system suitable for the local government for the disabled in the local community.

The purpose of the study was to conduct an empirical study on the scope and level of social exclusion experienced by persons with psychosocial disabilities. The Wave 6 data of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled were used to investigate the current status of social exclusion in life areas including income, education, work, housing, health, social network, social participation, and discrimination (N=4,161). A series of logistic regressions were executed, with the psychosocial disability(PD) group being the reference; the reverse odds rations of different disability groups were compared against the PD reference group (OR=1). The results showed that compared with all others, the PD group was about 2 to 11 times more likely to have risks in income, work, and housing; and that compared to other groups except for the autism/developmental disability group, they were about 6 to 10 times more likely to have risks in social network, social participation and discrimination. In conclusion, the authors urged the need for legal mandates to have community based mental health services and welfare services for the disabled more available to the PD groups and the necessity to eliminate various discriminatory legislations that are violating human and social rights of the persons with PDs.

This paper is about the NOOMP(Not Out of My Pocket) phenomenon, the inconsistent welfare attitude for an expansion of welfare system and increase of financial resources. By analyzing the scale and influential factors of the NOOMP to the main welfare programs, focusing on the class, gender, and age group, the paper tries to investigate the relationship between the NOOMP and the inherent stratification structure of each programs. This paper uses the Additional Survey of Welfare Attitude in 2013 Korea Welfare Panel Survey. As a result of analysis, low level of NOOMP phenomenon has been observed in welfare programs for whole society members such as health policies, pension, employment policies, compared to those of targeted programs for the poor, aged, or disabled. In addition, high probability of each group of 'low incomer', 'female', and '20s or less'to the NOOMP phenomenon has been appeared, therefore, high relevance of the NOOMP and the stratification structure of welfare programs have been confirmed. These results indicate that the transition to the universal welfare programs and the improvement of welfare programs for more equal structure are needed to reduce the NOOMP phenomenon.

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether parents with developmental disabilities are well represented by the persons with developmental disabilities. Analysis data is based on the data from the Survey on Disability Survey in 2014. We analyzed the consistency and biases of the parent's proxy respondents' opinions by the degree of agreement between the contents of the person with developmental disabilities and the value of items that the parents answered on behalf of the development disabled. First, the parents' proxy respondents responded well to the actual situation such as life satisfaction for the developmental disabled, while the parental proxy respondents showed the positive bias to overestimate the cost items and the negative bias to recognize the discrimination. Second, in relation to independent living, the majority of the parents of the developmental disabled respondents had a high agreement with the developmental disabled person. However, about 5 ~ 10% of the parents' proxy respondents seem to have a tendency to distort the independent living policy by preferring non-standard housing types, unlike those with developmental disabilities. Based on this, it was proposed that the respondents should be able to receive the answers of the possible parties in the future research on desire and independent living related intention toward the developmental disabled, and the research on the matching of the proxy response is needed in a multidimensional manner.
