| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 國家政策與公共事務研究所 === 105 === With the change of social structure and the opening of values, the concept of gender equality started to spring up. Females began to be brave to reveal their own values, which made their political and economic status gradually rise. Gender equality also becomes one important indicator of the development of a country and the society. Recently, Taiwan’s female labor participation rate has been close to fifty percent, which reveals that the character of the female in the labor market changed from faint to clear. However, whether the rise of female workforce can facilitate gender equality in the job market and resolve the dilemma of female’s career development remains to be discussed.
In view of this, this study discusses the practice of workplace gender equality through female executives’ perspectives on “gender equality”, “labor equality”, and “labor protection” to explore the differences of gender equality between sectors. The research subjects consist of three groups of interviewees including female executives of the public sector, female executives of the private sector, and experts or scholars in this research field. This study also compares the perception of “recruitment’, “selection”, “cultivation”, “employment”, “talent maintaining”, “role stress”, “parent leave”, and “nursery and care providence to the elderly” between the female executives in the public and private sectors.
This study used an in-depth review as a research method. The research findings show that gender equality is gradually realized in the workplace, but regarding labor protection, the constraints of gender role on the selection between family and the workplace still exist. Furthermore, due to the institutional differences in the public and private organizations, workplace benefits also differ. As a result, about how to assist females in protecting their labor right, this study contends that the pressing matter of the moment is to institute better labor rights of females and guarantee the rights in the workplace to the workers and the family caregivers no matter what genders they are.
