A Study on the Direction of the 6th Comprehensive Policy Plan for the People with Disabilities

Abstract

This study is to suggest the direction of the 6th Comprehensive Policy Plan for the People with Disabilities. It presents policy goals and prioritized policy agendas based on the Interim and Final evaluation of the 5th Comprehensive Policy Plan for the People with Disabilities, the policy agenda developed for the 20th presidential election, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the UN and ILO, the Convention concerning Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment of the People with Disabilities, and the WHO's 2001 Disability Classification Table. As a result of the study, first, the policy goals of the 6th Comprehensive Policy Plan for the People with Disabilities were presented in the direction of inclusion rather than separation, and emphasizing fundamental rights rather than special measures, suggesting a society in which fundamental rights are guaranteed as a citizen. Second, the main tasks of the policy are classified into the areas of fundamental rights of the people with Disabilities, the area of disability sensitivity, and the area for removing barriers that hinder social inclusion of people with disabilities, and all central government departments and local governments, providing public services. It was suggested that it is necessary to design a system in which all public organizations participate. Third, as for detailed promotion tasks, a total of 25 areas were presented: 3 areas of basic rights, 3 areas of disability sensitivity, 9 areas of social participation, and 10 areas of continuous tasks.
