Ⅰ. 배경 및 목적
□ 오늘날 의학이 발전하고 각종 안전대책이 강구되고 있음에도 불구하고 세계적인 인구증가, 전쟁과 각종 사고 그리고 노령화 등으로 장애인수는 계속 늘어날 전망임
○ 많은 장애인은 일상생활, 경제활동 등에 어려움을 겪고 있고 지역사회 통합에도 어려움을 경험하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있음.
□ 오늘날 선진국들은 장애인정책에 있어 장애인의 자립을 지향점으로 하고 있음. 더 이상 시혜적인 복지정책만으로는 한계가 있음을 인식하고 있음
○ 사회전반에 걸친 장애인에 대한 장벽을 제거하여 비장애인과 동등한 권리주체자로서 장애인인 당사자의 사회참여 등을 지원하여 장애인의 자립을 도모하여 궁극적으로 장애인 복지를 실현하려고 함.
□ '맞춤형 장애인 복지'는 획일적 기준이 아니라 장애인의 특성과 요구를 반영한 장애인 중심의 복지를 구현하는 것임. 이를 통해 장애인이 사회 구성원의 일원으로서 역할을 수행하고 자립할 수 있도록 지원함.
□ 따라서 장애인의 특성과 복지 욕구의 변화에 맞는 소득보장, 의료보장, 주거지원, 생활편의시설 제공, 정보접근권 보장, 일상생활 지원, 장애인복지시설의 제공 등의 대응방안 마련이 필요함.
○ 우리나라의 경우, 장애인과 관련하여 「장애인복지법」, 「장애아동복지지원법」, 「장애인활동 지원에 관한 법률」, 「장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률」, 「장애인연금법」 등의 다수 법률이 있음.
○ 그러나, 현행법령에는 장애인의 특성과 욕구를 충분히 반영하지 못하거나 미비된 부분이 존재함.
○ 또한, 장애인복지 관련 법령의 계속되는 개정과 개별법의 제정으로 관련법령의 입법체계에 대한 검토도 필요한 시점이라 할 수 있음
□ 이에 이 보고서는 장애와 장애인의 특성과 요구를 반영하는 장애인복지관련법제의 현황과 문제점을 검토하여 바람직한 개선방안을 마련하는 것을 목적으로 함.
