本文主要之研究目的即為以工作/不工作兩種不同的工作狀態,採用Probit模型估計就業方程式,試圖從文化差異的角度,實證探討母國文化對東南亞籍女性配偶的就業選擇影響。本研究選用行政院內政部辦理之2003年「外籍與大陸配偶生活狀況調查」,並應用文獻上探討此課題常用之Epidemiological Approach進行研究,利用母國的女性勞動參與率之歷史資料作為母國文化代表變數,並控制住家庭背景、人力及社會資本、同化效果等變數,探討母國文化對就業決策之可能影響。 實證分析結果發現,母國文化對台灣地區東南亞籍女性配偶的就業機率影響確實存在,且母國女性勞動參與率是為合宜的母國文化代表變數。不論從影響新移民女性就業決策主要因素的在台身分、移民年數以及族群密度,或者是利用各東南亞母國的女性勞動參與率、總生育率、人均國內生產毛額與平均教育程度之歷史數據來實證分析,亦或進一步討論Hofstede國家文化指標以及母國普遍對職業婦女的態度與價值觀,本文發現母國女性勞動參與率的影響力在各不同變化模型下皆非常穩健且一致。母國女性勞動參與率對東南亞籍女性配偶的就業機率呈顯著正向的影響效果,每增加1%的母國女性勞動參與率,就業機率就會上升16.50-37.10%,顯示母國文化的影響效果不容忽視。
The purpose of this thesis is to examine empirically the role of home-country cultural heritage on employment decisions of the Southeast Asian marriage immigrants in Taiwan based on the probit model. The Epidemiological Approach is applied to the data from the 2003 “Survey of Foreign and Mainland Spouses’ Life Status” collected by Ministry of Interior, R.O.C. in our empirical analysis. We use female labor force participation rate in the country of ancestry as the measure of home-country cultural heritage, and also include control variables for family background, human and social capital, assimilation effect and other related variables. Our findings indicate that the cultural proxies of home-country female labor force participation rate are significant in explaining the variation in the country fixed effect and show a significantly positive effect on employment probability of the Southeast Asian marriage immigrants in Taiwan. Additionally, we examine the effect from residential status, the years since migration and ethnic density, even testing the robustness of our results by including the total fertility rate, GDP per capital and average women education level in the country of origin. Further, we tackle the issue with the consideration of Hofstede Dimensions of National Culture and attitudes towards working women in the labor market prevalent in a home-country society. The positive effect of home-country female labor force participation rate is very robust according to the various models estimated in this study. In general, a one percentage increase in the home-country female labor force participation rate is associated with a 16.50-37.10% increase in the probability of working.
