摘要

本文按家戶所得分配、個人工資所得分配及其決定因素，結合理論與個體橫剖面資料，利用因素分解法與迴歸分析法，依序探討日治時期台灣非農部門個人所得分配的基本構成內容。實證結果顯示：工資收入係決定家戶所得分配的首要因子；個人工資之不均則源於個人間工資率之變異，而與個人工時變異之關係甚微；最後，年齡的變異又是決定個人工資率不均最重要的因子。

並列摘要

This study has examined family income distribution and wage distribution and their determinants by applying methods of factor decomposition and regression analysis to micro cross-sectional data of the nonfarm-sector in the colonial era in Taiwan. Our empirical findings reveal that wage earnings dominated family income distribution, personal wage unequally distributed mainly because of the variation of the wage rate, rather than the variation of working hours, and age was the most important determinant of the wage variation.
