ABSTRACT

This study is to examine current situation on the retention of good jobs and the mobility into bad jobs among disabled workers with good jobs for five years(2008~2013), and to explore the factors affecting the retention of good jobs in terms of individual, human capital and job effects. By analyzing the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled using the Panel Logit Random Effects Model, we found that 73.8% of disabled workers remained employed in their good jobs, whereas 26.2% of them fell into bad jobs. ‘Size of enterprise’, ‘willingness to improve employee’s welfare’, ‘aptitude’, ‘job accommodation’ and ‘job turnover’ as job factors, ‘sex’ as an individual factor, and none of human capital factors were statistically significant in predicting the retention of good jobs. Theses results suggest that strategies for job placement before being employed should consider size of enterprise, individual worker's occupational aptitude, employer’s awareness of employee’s welfare, and the proper job accommodation services for the retention of good jobs. After employment, government should continue to support education for employer’s awareness of employee’s welfare and subsidy for job accommodation services.
