The aim of this research is to examine the effect of subjective health on the quality of life of Korean people with disabilities. The second goal of this study is to examine the effect of the Engel coefficient on quality of life. Additionally, this study is conducted to inspect the effect of employment and personal assets on quality of life. Further, in this work, the moderating effect of personal assets on the association between employment and quality of life for people with a disability is explored. The Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled served as the source of data. The study period ranges from 2016 to 2018. To test the research hypotheses, this study adopted econometric analyses, namely, ordinary least squares, fixed effect, and random effect models. The results revealed that the quality of life for people with disabilities is positively influenced by subjective health, employment, and personal assets. In contrast, the Engel coefficient exerts a negative impact on quality of life. Plus, the finding indicates that personal assets negatively moderate the relationship between employment and quality of life for people with disabilities. This research is aimed at presenting policy implications for the welfare of people with disabilities.
本研究旨在考察主观健康对韩国残疾人生活质量的影响。本研究的第二个目标是考察恩格尔系数对生活质量的影响。此外，本研究旨在检验就业和个人资产对生活质量的影响。此外，在本研究中，还探讨了个人资产对残疾人就业与生活质量之间关系的调节作用。残疾人就业面板调查作为数据来源。研究期间为2016年至2018年。为了检验研究假设，本研究采用了计量经济学分析方法，即普通最小二乘法、固定效应模型和随机效应模型。结果显示，主观健康、就业和个人资产对残疾人的生活质量有积极影响。相比之下，恩格尔系数对生活质量有负面影响。此外，研究结果表明，个人资产对残疾人就业与生活质量之间的关系有负向调节作用。本研究旨在为残疾人福利提出政策建议。
