博士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 91 === The studies so far on female workers in the third world have confined female workers within the ahistorical analytical scheme, therefore they looked upon all female workers of the third world as the homogenized one. They neglected the fact that the socio-cultural conditions of each country could influenced the status of female workers in each specific context. This study analyzes the gendered strategies of labor control peculiar to Taiwanese-owned enterprises(Taishang) and the China''s socio-cultural conditions simultaneously exert effects on the status of female workers in both labor and domestic domains. The status of female workers in Taiwanese-owned enterprises manifests both the general principle of the capitalist system which adopts a gendered strategy of labor control and the peculiarity resulting from the interaction of the above-mentioned general principle and China’s socio-cultural institutions.
