장애인 고용 네트워크의 구조 분석 연구-서울지역을 중심으로

초록

In 2004 Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled(KEPAD) began the employment network program for people with disabilities in order to provide a more comprehensive and effective service to the disabled in the local community. Through coordination and collaboration among institutions, the employment network program reduced competitive relations among local institutions and overlapping of tasks. The employment network program resulted in numerous agreements with relevant institutions. However, a scientific analysis of the entire network structure and collaboration pattern of institutions has not yet been conducted. Based on this need, this paper utilized the network analysis and measured the density and the centrality of employment network for the disabled according to 6 collaboration levels. The institutions are limited to the ones located in Seoul. The 6 levels of collaborations are accumulations of information and data, intake and refer of clients, periodic discussions and workshops, sharing material/human resources, official contract, and operation of co-projects. According to the results, a difference of network structure existed at each level. Each network formed sub-network depending on the closeness of the institutions(based on community, service target, type of institution and disability). In addition, in each level of network the hub institution and broker institution was identified emphasizing the importance of their roles. In regards to centrality, the role of KEPAD branch offices were identified. These results are significant in that they provide a strategic map to operate the employment network for people with disabilities effectively. We also suggest to establish disability employment network governance on the basis of this network map.
