碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 東南亞研究所 === 95 === The female Vietnamese immigrants who have the ID card of Taiwan according to the law should have the right to work in Taiwan; however, in fact, these new female immigrants do not possess their right to have a job as the common. In this study, I adopt in-depth interviews with the new female immigrants to analyze and explain their employment situation. Three factors produce such an unfair situation, ie., insufficient female immigrant’s social network support in Taiwan; the traditional gender role imposed on them, and the ethnic difference discrimination. I conclude that the gap between legal rights and its realization is embedded in Taiwan’s social structures.
