碩士 === 東海大學 === 經濟系 === 107 === The study aims at exploring the changes in Taiwan's industrial structure and working types in recent years. The difference in gender wages is due to the difference in gender characteristics or the gap sexual discrimination . We regard the data of the “Manpower Use Survey” from 2012 to 2017 as sample. We used the age, education level, marital status, the number of children, industry, occupation, department of study and labor type,etc. as empirical variables to analysis the influences of the wage differential by applying hedonic characteristics method. Then,we also used the model to analyze the salary between men and women. The research results show that the salary of Taiwanese workers in recent years will be affected by the changes in industrial structure and working type, and the wage differential have been shrinking year by year. The reasons are related to the segregation of industrial occupations and market discrimination in atypical markets. This paper analyzes the wage decomposition model of Oaxaca (1973) and Oaxaca and Ranson (1994). Although the wage differential still have differences, the gender pay gap has been decreasing year by year, and the difference in salary can be explained by the characteristics of men and women. It has reached 60% to 70%, indicating that the salary differences between the difference gender in the workplace in recent years have been explained by the characteristics of men and women, that is to say, they are not affected by the gender of the workers and affect the wage differential. In terms of discussing the factors that affect the wages of men and women in different industries, the departments in the tertiary industry have a great correlation with the salary, while in the tertiary industry, the hourly salary of the atypical workers. It will be lower than the typical workers, and if the Taiwan society has moved toward a society dominated by tertiary industries, and the dispatch market continues to expand, this type of labor has a negative impact on the wages of workers, so it enters the typical or atypical employment relationship. Market work does affect the wages that workers receive.
