性別主流化政策的策略思維與作法:以友善家庭政策作為實踐之道

張瓊玲

《摘要》

近年來,在政府的積極推動之下,「性別主流化」的理念,已從國際上的呼籲,落實到政府各級行政組織及其職掌的政策層面中,也開啟了從強調「婦權」進而強調「性別人權」的時代。為能落實性別平等政策暨打造友善性別環境,本文擬從各類人口的統計數據中,去整理出性別統計(包括公務人員的性別統計),並從性別統計中進行性別分析,如比較國內外的女性勞參率、國內男女兩性的勞參率、婚育率以及公務人員的升遷與離退之性別比例等,來了解我國所面臨的少子女化與人口老化的社會問題之所在,並以性別主流化做為策略性思考,以「友善家庭措施」作為政策思維,期望政府運用各種政策工具,以創建發明各類政策,來分擔傳統社會中加諸在女性身上的家庭照顧工作。故以強化家庭支持系統之政策作為與具性別意識的人力資源管理,才能發揚女力經濟的效益。在訴求性別平權為主流的時代趨勢之下,期望政府中的公務人員,能從強化性別的意識著手,進而研議出具有前瞻性的且富含性別正義的公共政策。

The Strategic Thinking and Practice of Gender Mainstreaming Policy: Achieving the Goal by Implementing Family-Friendly Policy

Chiung-Ling Chang

Abstract

The concept of gender mainstreaming, which caught much global attention recently, has prevailed in Taiwan through the government’s active promotion, permeating every level of government and policy-making.

This has opened up an era of gender rights over woman’s rights. To practice the gender equality policy and create the gender-friendly environment, this article sorts out the gender-related statistics, including those of the civil servants. It then conducts the gender analysis from gender statistics to compare Taiwan’s female labor participation rate, labor participation rates of both genders, marriage and birth rate, and the gender ratio of promotion/retirement rates of civil servants with those of other countries. From this, we come to realize the basic problems of low birth rate and aging population which have been affecting our country. Since we use gender mainstreaming and friendly family as references for policy thinking, we hope the government can use any policy tool to create and invent any policy that would share women’s burden of taking care of families in traditional society. To enable women to play a greater role in economic development, we need to strengthen the policies that encourage a strong family supporting system and provide incentives for managing human resources with greater gender awareness. Under the mainstream of equal rights, we hope the civil servants will take the initiative in strengthening gender awareness and then proceed to make good public policies that will realize gender justice.
