ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews the pertinent issues underpinning the disconnect between policies for older people with disabilities and other older people in Korea. Like many other developed countries, the population in Korea is growing increasingly older and the population of people ageing with disabilities is increasing even more rapidly. However, despite these increases in the population trends, unmet need for support services remains high. This chapter explores challenges in community services for people ageing with disabilities and provides some suggestions about how these issues might be resolved. The chapter argues that until relatively recently only modest attention has been given to these issues by policymakers or researchers. As a result, services devoted to supporting people ageing with disability need additional attention. It suggests that one promising avenue of research could be to investigate the possibilities for greater linkages between policies for disability and policies for older adults to increase and enhance community services.
