The duration of job maintenance was analyzed with socio-economic factors, disability-related factors, job related factors. Among these factors, variables of age, educational attainment, limitation on daily living activities, wage, employment status(self-employed), part-time or full-time worker, and satisfaction in the job have statistically significant effect on the duration of job maintenance of people with disabilities.
The duration of job maintenance is likely to increase for older workers, for workers with high wage, and for workers with self-emplyed, full-time workers, whreas the duration of job maintenance is likely to decrease for those who educated more.
The results of this analsis implies that the vocational rehabilitation services, in particular, the job-evaluation and the follow-up services for those already emplyed, should be strengthened.
