장애인 가구의 주택소유 현황과 주택 정책·서비스 = Homeownership status of disability households and housing policies and services

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study compared homeownership of households with a disabled member to that of households without a disabled member between the Republic of Korea and the United States, after adjusting for demographic factors such as mean age and race/ethnicity of a household. Also, the study compared homeownership of different sub-groups within a larger disability group by types, number, and onsets of conditions/impairments. Secondary analyses of data were performed utilizing the 2000 National Disability Survey for Korea and the 1996 Survey of Income and Program Participation (conducted in 1999) for the U.S. The intent was to provide a clear understanding of the status of homeownership on an international level.
The findings indicated that, compared to non-disability households, disability households in the U.S. were more likely to rent housing for cash, while disability households in Korea were less likely to rent it for cash or more likely to occupy it free of charge, than own it, after adjusting for demographic factors of a household.
Besides differences between Korea and the U.S. in homeownership of people with disabilities, there were similarities between the two countries in this study. Compared to households that had a member with physical impairment, households that had a member with auditory/lingual impairment were less likely to occupy housing free of charge than own it, after adjusting for number and onsets of conditions/impairments. The estimated odds of renting housing for cash rather than owning housing decreased with onsets of conditions/impairments getting late, after adjusting for types and number of conditions/impairments.
Finally, the present study concluded with a discussion of housing policies and services for people with disabilities.

본 연구는 한국과 미국의 장애인 가구의 주택소유 상태와 비장애인 가구의 주택소유 상태를 비교하였다. 또한, 장애인들 내에서 장애의 종류·수·발생시기에 의하여 서로 다른 소집단들의 주택소유 상태를 비교하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 '2000년도 장애인실태조사’와 미국에서 1999년에 실시된 '1996 소득 및 프로그램참여 조사(Survey of Income and Program Participation, SIPP)'를 이용하여 자료의 이차분석을 수행하였다. 그 목적은 국제 수준에서 주택소유 실태에 관한 이해를 제공하는 것이었다. 연구 결과, 장애인 가구의 주택소유 상태에 있어서 한국과 미국 사이에는 차이점 이외에도 유사점이 있었다. 끝으로, 장애인을 위한 주택 정책과 서비스 방안을 모색하였다.
