In this study, I tried to find out the characteristics of vocational rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities as a social economic organization. The purpose of vocational rehabilitation facilities are to promote the welfare of disabled persons. Recently we have often heard the 'social economy'. Vocational rehabilitation facility and social enterprise are faced with various problems but common problems. There are a various of supporting and fostering systems on vocational rehabilitation facility and social enterprise. It is studied up on these problems and systems. There is the meaning of this study on improvement the lack of training and supporting measures so as to be able to faithfully execute the its role as a social economic organization of vocational rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities.
Unlike the best value of the capitalist economy system is the maximization of profit, social economy puts emphasis on the value of people. Social economy is characterized by the realization of universal community profit, revenue allocation of the labor center, democratic participation, the sustainability of society.
In spite of the vocational rehabilitation facility is focused on persons with disabilities, it meets all the characteristics of the social economy that has been described. It was confirmed that there is a qualification to be performed fully its role as a social economy entity.
Social economy has been implemented in a variety of models in Korea. Unlike the emergence and background of social enterprise in the Western society, top-down government-led development policy has been promoted in Korea. Therefore, the certification system of social enterprise also shows peculiarities.
Social enterprises and vocational rehabilitation facilities have faced with common problems : resource depletion, ensuring the sustainability and autonomy, lack of awareness for their products and services.
In addition, more than one policy for the support and development of social enterprises and vocational rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities is in effect, but is a reality deficiencies and dissatisfaction with the system is what is indicated. Therefore, in the present study, I examined in a comprehensive manner for the deficiencies and institutional concerns that social enterprises and vocational rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities are facing.
As a result, I suggested sothe followings : First, I have proposed a revision of the Disability Act, which defines a vocational rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities. Thus, it is not staying in the frame of social welfare facilities, it is desired to be reborn social economic organization for the vocational rehabilitation of people with disabilities. Second, due to the lack of specialized human resources, to the problem raised in the field, rather than recruiting simply, experts to be flowed naturally, and to expand the career scope of accreditation, which acts as a barrier to entry, the reorganization of office organization I also proposed. The third, I presented a forceful measures as affirmative actions for social enterprises and vocational rehabilitation facility, being unable to benefit such as priority purchase plans of public institutions. Finally, I told the provision of mutual aid system for the social enterprise in ensuring sustainability of social enterprise.
