誤識與誤視：民眾對勞退新制無感的成因初探

The Misperceptions by the Government about Labor Pension Act, Social Indicators and the People

近年來，台灣民眾對政策無感成了熱門議題。本研究試圖探索此一現象，並提出解釋。透過分析攸關六百萬勞工退休後經濟安全的勞退新制，本文指出二種誤識與一個誤視，這些是使民眾對政策無感的機制。所謂「誤識」，指的是政府對政策的落實情況理解有偏誤、在政策規劃時對勞工職涯樣貌的理解有偏誤。一個「誤視」，指的是政府運用錯誤的指標來衡量政策績效。二種誤識加上一個誤視，讓政策的運作及宣傳與民眾實際感受有所落差，也正是民眾對於政策無感的關鍵所在。

This study explores the reasons why people can’t comprehend the government’s efforts to make policies better. With use of Labor Pension Act as our case, the main mechanisms that fail people’s expectations are presented in this study. First, there are two kinds of the government’s misperceptions of pension policy; one is the misperception of social effects caused by the policy itself, and the other that of people’s living situation. These misperceptions combined with the misuse of improper policy indicator, creates a gap between the social effect of policy and the people’s actual experience when they’re engaged with the policy.
