摘要

農業為臺灣社會至少提供二個功能，一是養活臺灣的人口，另一個是提供經濟發展的某些基楚。如今臺灣的經齊達到某種程度的發展，農業在經濟領域或中地位降到最低。農業乃要繼續提供養活人口的功能。於是問題就變得非常複雜。本文的重點，首先在於呈現農業在經濟發展過程中所表現的特徵現象。接著在這樣的狀況下，討論農業就業的問題及現實的困難問題。最後討論政府在現階段解決農民就業的基本策略。

Based on production values and employment, agriculture in Taiwan is no longer important even though it remains a critical sector in other ways. Agricultural employment has been gradually decreasing since long before. The movement of the rural population out of agriculture has been supported by government policy. Although this has resulted in specialization in agricultural production, it has also led to the following state of the sector: low education level of the population, limited land available for cultivation, lower level of living and lack of successors, among others.The Taiwanese government has been taking a series of actions in dealing with the issues of agricultural employment since 1983. All these efforts are expected to reach a successful outcome. Among these actions are two important programs. The first one is the training program for secondary occupation, which aims to move out the part-time farmers from agriculture. The second is the program to develop full-time 'core' farmers which is aimed at strengthening the competence of full-time farmers.The result of the first program according to research findings, has not been positive. In contrast, the second program has met some significant success in terms of mutual decision-making, experience sharing and good communication among members of farmers' groups. In recent years, the government has been faced with a key problem that of free trade of land.
