摘要

本文欲探究女性單親的就業限制因素，並討論影響女性參職業訓練的主要因素。研究發現限制女性就業的主要因素，包含『人力資本不足』與『結構限制』。人力資本不足會影響女性在工作職場的競爭能力相對較弱，而在結構因素限制下，傳統文化讓女性負擔家庭責任，限制了女性外出就業的機會。職業訓練提供女性單親改善人力資本、重新就業的機會。但影響女性單親參與職業訓練的主要因素為年齡、子女數、福利資訊，研究發現中年女性、撫養子女數越低、福利資訊越充分瞭解，則參與職業訓練的意願越高。

This paper attempts to explore the employment difficulties facing single mothers and the main factors deterring their seeking vocational training. We find that the major factors constraining female employment include human capital insufficiency and structural constraints. The lack of human capital makes females less competitive in the job market. As for structural constraints, they are bound by the traditional culture to assume housework, depriving their chances of working outside. Vocational training can improve single mothers' human capital and their re-employment opportunity. However, some factors, such as age, the number of children, and welfare information, will affect single mothers' willingness to seek vocational training. Our study has found that females who are middle-aged, with fewer children to support, and with more understanding of welfare information have a higher willingness to undertake vocational training.
