動員男女來生產臺灣茶

Mobilizing Men and Women to Produce Taiwanese Tea

本文引用歷年的海關報告、駐淡水港英國領事的貿易報告、早期日本殖民官員所進行的調查以及外國攝影師所照的圖像等資料來研究十九世紀大稻埕第二階段茶葉加工企業的茶館所僱用勞動力的演變。茶館總數、年度茶葉（烏龍茶和包種茶）出口統計以及茶館僱用員工人數都用來估計勞動力所需的演變。同時本文也探討茶葉工作的性別劃分，評估不同勞動任務的工作環境，並總結有關工資的歷史數據。

With reference to annual reports of the Customs, annual trade reports of the British consul, early investigations carried out by Japanese colonial officials, photographs and historical materials of various sources, this paper traces the evolution of the labor pool employed for second-stage tea processing by firms in Dadaocheng, Taiwan during the nineteenth century and the early Japanese colonial era. The size of this labor pool was estimated using specific data on tea-processing firms, annual tea export statistics, and firm-based employee figures. This paper also explores the gendered division of labor, working conditions for different tasks, and the brief historical data on wages for laborers involved in this second-stage processing of oolong and baozhong tea in northern Taiwan.
