  • 論文中文摘要
個人的就業表現受到哪些因素的影響,就業表現包含個人的薪資及工作相對應的社會經濟地位。在台灣,女性投入職場後,男女之間在職場上的待遇就不相等,女性所獲得的薪資報酬普遍比男性低,女性也多數從事社會經濟地位較低的職業,但是近年來男女性的教育水平相當,高等教育的女性畢業生甚至超過男性,何以女性的就業表現會長期與男性有差異,本研究透過臺灣教育長期追蹤資料庫(TEPS)的樣本,分析這二十年來男女性的就業表現,以及受到哪些因素的影響。
以邏輯迴歸及皮爾森積差相關分析資料後發現,研究結果為以下幾點:
一、個人在求學時期的數學能力表現,會顯著影響日後的薪水及社會經濟地位,數學能力表現越好,薪水和社會經濟地位越可以提高;女性數學能力越佳,提高的薪水幅度比男性更高。
二、個人性別刻板印象分數的高低不會顯著影響個人的薪水及社會經濟地位。
三、就讀 STEM 科系可以顯著提高個人的社會經濟地位,男性提高的程度比女性高。但就讀 STEM 科系並沒有顯著提高個人的薪資收入(可能受限於 STEM分類的關係)。
四、職業類型會顯著影響個人的薪資收入,男女性受到影響的程度不同,但有類似的結果,男女性在專業類職業都可以提高個人的薪資收入,而事務支援工作則都會減少男女性的收入;事務支援工作是女性佔比高的職業,顯示從事女性佔比高的職業仍對個人的薪資有負向的影響。
五、女性從業人口越多的職業,其平均薪資會越低,亦即該職業中的女性人口佔比越高,該職業的薪資會越低;同時也發現女性從業人口越多的職業,該職業的女性性別刻板印象平均分數越高,表示在這些女性從業人員較多的職業中,女性存有較深的性別刻板印象。

What factors affect individual labor market outcome, including personal salary and the corresponding socioeconomic status? In Taiwan, there exists a gender-based inequality in the treatment of men and women in the workplace, particularly noticeable after women enter the workforce. Women tend to receive lower salaries compared to men and are more likely to be employed in occupations with lower socioeconomic status. However, in recent years, educational attainment between genders has become comparable, with female graduates from higher education even surpassing their male counterparts. This raises the question of why a long-term disparity in labor market outcome persists between men and women. To shed light on this issue, this study examines data from the Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS) spanning the past two decades to analyze the labor market outcome of both genders and identify the influencing factors.
By employing logistic regression and conducting Pearson's correlation analysis on the collected data, the study reveals the following key findings:
1. The math ability of individuals during their educational years significantly influences their future salary and socioeconomic status. Better math ability translate to higher potential for increased salary and socioeconomic status. Notably, female individuals with stronger math ability experience a higher salary boost compared to their male counterparts.
2. The level of gender stereotypes does not have a significant impact on an individual's salary and socioeconomic status.
3. Pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors significantly enhances an individual's socioeconomic status, with males experiencing a greater improvement. However, pursuing STEM majors does not lead to a substantial increase in an individual's salary, potentially due to the categorization of STEM.
4. The type of occupation significantly affects an individual's salary, albeit to varying degrees for men and women. Nonetheless, both genders exhibit similar results.Professional occupations tend to elevate the salary of individuals, regardless of gender, while clerical support workers diminish the income for both genders. Since clerical support workers have a higher proportion of female workers, this suggests that engaging in occupations predominantly occupied by women still negatively impacts individuals' salaries.
5. Occupations with a higher proportion of female workers tend to have lower average salaries. In other words, the more women there are in a specific occupation,the lower the salary tends to be. Additionally, it is observed that occupations with a higher proportion of female workers also tend to have higher average scores for gender stereotypes, indicating a more entrenched presence of gender stereotypes among female workers in these occupations.
