被隱沒的聲音：離開家外安置照顧青年之自立生活經驗

Hidden Voice: The Independent Living Experiences among Taiwan Young People Leaving Out-of-Home Care

本研究主要目的係檢視台灣離開家外安置照顧青年自立生活歷程中的排除經驗，運用深度訪談16位青年進行質性分析，結果發現包括：教育學習排除、勞動就業排除、經濟所得排除、身心健康排除與福利制度排除，這些多面向的排除經驗是動態且累積性。最後，本研究建議增進社會參與、青年發聲與促進離院青年社會融入的機會；檢視社會政策，透過福利制度對抗社會排除；以及落實自立生活能力培育與離院轉銜計畫。

The purpose of this study was to explore the social exclusion experiences among young care leavers. The in-depth interview method was conducted after collecting 16 cases. The results revealed five aspects of social exclusion: education, employment, finance, health, and welfare service. These multi-dimensions of exclusion experiences are dynamic and cumulative. Based on these findings, suggestions for future practice include: (1) engage young care leavers in social participation and provide opportunities for them to express their voice; (2) construct the anti-social exclusion social policies; and (3) fulfill independent living preparation and leaving care plans.
