摘要
家務勞動究竟指涉什麼客體？家務勞動該如何評價？家務勞動若為有酬勞動，可以如何評估、計算報酬額度？有沒有可能尋求國家力量，以法律改善、甚至承擔家務勞動的照顧工作，使它對供需對方都更友善？面對女性處於工作、家庭兩難困境，法律說了什麼？做了什麼？ 本研究的目的，在於透過法制沿革、判決與相關社會統計數據，探討台灣現行家務勞動法律制度，檢視家務勞動法制化是否真正達成其所欲的目的：提昇家務勞動地位、提昇兩性平等。同時，從相關文獻、報導與評論切入，探討家務勞動的概念呈現什麼樣貌，由什麼組成，又是如何被建構起來的。 沒有國家支持，家庭中的個人選擇家務勞動的照顧工作，就等於選擇貧窮；選擇照顧家人、放棄工作與收入的一方，反而是高所得家庭中的窮人尋求國家力量，以法律改善、甚至承擔家務勞動的照顧工作，使它對供需雙方都更友善是可行的。供需平衡的國家法制能改善家務勞動工作。國家改善、承擔家務勞動的照顧，與經濟發展並不互斥。 家務勞動有給制對國家與社會的提昇效果，藉著推動家務勞動有給制，可進一步擴大基礎，成為一般人民的訴求。家務勞動並非傳統認定的無價值，而是值得薪給的專業工作。家務勞動有價化的法規制定，反而更激起反對者的非理性抵抗。 家務勞動有價的法制化，必須與性別平等教育同步為之。過去被認為否定家務勞動價值的男人，反而比想像中更為認同家務勞動的重要性，只是並不全認同家務勞動必須有償化。 本文肯定家務勞動法制正當化家務勞動的功能，更期待能從更多的實務判決、應用案例中，看出家務勞動法制化的實踐，法官判決時論述能更一致，體察個案具體情事差異，而非一律以行政院行政院規定之勞工基本工資訂為家務勞動的價碼，從而落實家務勞動，使從事家務者得到更多尊重，兩性更趨平等，也達到家務勞動安置於民法親屬篇中，維護家庭與社會和諧的功能。
