Abstract
This study, based on cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis perspective and using longitudinal research method, analyzed 2003-2005 Employment Program for the People with Disabilities in Taipei City. The social net monetary benefit just after this program is $NT7,396.73 per participant per year. The benefit cost ratio is 1.460. At this time, the net monetary benefit for the participants is more likely to be positive. It shows that this program is likely to be efficient and equal for the whole society. If considering social benefit stream, it is very possible that the social net monetary benefit can be at least $NT71,447.19 per participant. The benefit cost ratio will be 2.480 then. In addition, the annual social net monetary benefits are positive and keep rising between 2003 to 2005. However, the benefit/effectiveness cost ratios of different categories of the people with disabilities are different. The benefit and effectiveness cost ratios of the category of the people with hearing/voice/speech mechanism, vision, and collective disabilities are larger than those with chronic psychosis and mental disability.
