台灣製造業委外對於總就業與就業結構的影響

Abstract

本文的迴歸結果顯示委外確實能顯著增加技術工的雇用，也確實顯著減少了非技術工的雇用，但整體而言，委外對國內就業的影響並沒有顯著的影響。另外，迴歸結果指出，當廠商投資地區為中國(含香港)時，反而使得國內就業與技術工就業增加，顯示對中國(含香港)的投資，對台灣勞工雇用(尤其是技術工)有助益。研發密度方面，此變數對於就業結構變化的影響十分顯著，明顯增加技術工、減少非技術工的雇用，但整體而言，對總就業人數的影響並不明顯。

This paper, using Taiwan as a case study, shows that an increase in outsourcing ratio can increase the number of skilled workers employed, but decrease that of unskilled workers. However, it has insignificant impact on Taiwan’s employment as a whole. Similarly, R&D also has the effect of shifting Taiwan’s employment structure toward skilled workers without significantly affecting the total number of workers employed. In addition, this paper shows that after controlling for other factors, Taiwanese firms investing in China increase their employment of skilled workers but has no effect on that of unskilled workers. As a result, the total number of workers employed increases.
