Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research deals with social and economic inequalities between people with and without disabilities focusing on earning and conversion handicaps, Amartya Sen asserts. We show that children with special needs and their families have to bear both the time and psychological cost (i.e., conversion handicap) because of the low accessibility and availability of childcare services. We also assert that a close relationship between individual company and care provider is effective to help reduce employer anxiety and burden and decrease “earning handicap” of people with disabilities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで障害者は、障害者福祉制度のもとでの措置対象者であり、経済社会の中では庇護すべき存在として扱われてきた。研究対象としても、障害児者が「社会を構成する主体的な個人」ではなく、社会保障を受ける対象、いわゆる「支援される者」として位置づけられており、障害児者自身の経済活動に焦点を当てた研究の蓄積はほとんどない。本研究では、障害者を社会の中で自立した存在として位置づけ、障害者が適切な支援下で安定的かつ継続的な経済活動を行うために必要な基盤を整備するための基礎的研究であるという点で社会的意義が十分にあると考えている。
