摘 要
近幾年來,台灣地區兩性受高等教育的機會可說是毫無差異,學者卻從研究中發現,由於受到性別區隔及職業區隔等因素的影響,女性的勞動參與率與薪資所得是遠低於男性,甚至在求職過程中,還要受到許多不平等的對待與騷擾,憲法中有關兩性平等、保障人民權利的理念,並未充分得到實踐。此外,由於女性所獨有的生理現象及社會期待,女性在職場上,要比男性承受更多的就業壓力,在實踐兩性工作平等此一理念時,除了要消弭過去廣為存在的性別歧視、追求兩性形式平等外,如何從「母性保護」、「社會連帶」的思維,採取積極措施促進兩性工作權的實質平等,才是政府及民間部門之考驗所在。本研究擬以兩性工作平等法的立法目的為論述導引,並以孫中山及羅爾斯(Rawls)的平等觀及正義論的論點來探討賦予女性性別正義的真義,另藉由此法律的內容探討,分析對公、私部門相關人事任用法規、組織文化之可能衝擊及因應之道,最後提出相關建議。
