ABSTRACT

Two years has passed since Korean Disability Discrimination Act was enforced in April, 2008. The purpose of this Act is to realize the dignity and worth of the disabled people by prohibiting disability-based discrimination in all area of society. This study aims to estimate the effectiveness of Korean DDA performed during the early two years of its enforcement. Main data of this study were gathered through the Korea Public Information Disclosure System (PIDS). Showing that some positive change has been performed since the enforcement of Korean DDA, this study suggests there are more tasks to be done in order to let the Act realize its purpose. The tasks are improving or reforming related laws and regulations, strengthening competent public organizations, developing societal understanding and recognition of the DDA, making efforts of public sector to be a good model of performing a duty, and constructing a monitoring system.
