摘要

本文旨在探討東南亞外籍勞工在都市商業地區中的消費型態，並以台南縣、台南市、高雄縣、高雄市等四個縣市之菲律賓、泰國、印尼、越南四國之勞工爲研究對象，進行初步比較。本文由“消費型態”觀點切入，研究內容包括每月消費金額、休假時購買商品及價格、消費型態與商品意義、母國與台灣商品印象之比較、特定消費之商品項目、消費空間、以及特定消費之商店或地區等項目。採用的主要研究方法包括理論與文獻回顧、問卷調查、參與觀察等。問卷調查有效樣本共計392份，爲本文資料分析與解釋的來源。 主要研究發現有：(1)在每月消費金額方面，菲勞最會花錢，其次是泰勞，再其次是越勞，印勞最省錢，其原因與婚姻狀況、扶養親人情形、薪水有一定的關聯。(2)在休假時購買商品及價格方面，菲律賓與泰國高於印尼與越南。(3)在消費型態與商品意義上，菲勞在「認同歸屬感」、「自我表現」、「展現權力」三項的表現上，非常明顯而具體，而其他三國勞工只有在「認同歸屬感」一項上比較明顯。(4)在特定消費之商店上，菲勞喜歡家樂福、愛買等大賣場、屈臣氏、運動用品店以及百貨公司，泰勞喜歡泰國商店、超商、通訊行，而印勞喜歡印尼商店，與越勞同樣較爲單純。
