ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine the difference of cultural participation among the cultural disadvantaged groups and analyze the effect of the integrated cultural voucher program. Although the policy definition of the cultural disadvantaged group is changing comprehensively, more than 70% of the budget for cultural welfare is used for the integrated cultural voucher program that give a voucher to the economically disadvantaged people. Furthermore, the existing discussion on the cultural disadvantaged group focused on identifying the gaps caused by disadvantaged factors, and there were no discussions on the case of overlapping. Therefore, this paper analyzed the differences in participation rate, diversity, and frequency between the groups. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, disadvantage for older was the biggest obstacle to cultural participation. Second, more cultural disadvantage factors were overlapped, the lower the level of cultural participation was. Lastly, the integrated cultural voucher program has affected only economically disadvantaged group, not double-disadvantaged groups. This paper suggest that future policy design requires consideration of the elderly and double-disadvantaged groups.
