To this end, this study conducted in-depth interviews with 13 people aged 50 or older with encephalopathic disabilities by open-ended questions regarding their experiences and needs for work, and analyzed the results so as to more deeply understand the experiences and needs for work of aged people with disabilities as well as the implications of the present situation. The analysis results showed that aged people with disabilities have high needs for work and try to find the meaning and worth of life through work, but in reality face considerable limitations to working in the triple handicaps of disability, old age, and chronic disease. The results of this study strongly suggest the need for policy intervention in the work of aged people with disabilities who have been neglected by employment policies until now.
