개혁개방 이후 중국 장애인복지정책의 전개과정과 과제

Abstract

This paper aims at reviewing the current conditions and its issues of Chinese social welfare for the disabled since open policy. For the purpose, the types and grade of the disabled, the social welfare law for the disabled, the national plan toward developing social services for the disabled, and the social welfare enterprises for the disabled were analysed. The results are as follows; First, almost all disabled children who have no parents are living in the social welfare institutions, and most disabled children who have parents are cared in their own homes. This means that the Chinese social welfare system for the disabled is underdeveloped. Second, the Chinese government is showing very progressive will for developing the social welfare system for the disabled since 2000s, such as amending and complementing the social welfare law for the disabled, enacting the standard norms of the social welfare institutions for the disabled, and establishing the national plan toward developing social services for the disabled. Third, however, the Chinese social welfare system for the disabled has some structural problems such as lack of social welfare institutions for the disabled, deficiency of social welfare institutions for the disabled who is cared at home, uneffective management of social welfare institutions, hard conditions of social welfare enterprises for the disabled, and too much government-friendly NGOs for the disabled.
