兩岸關於婦女勞工權益之保障-以婚假及產假為例

Protection of Women’s Labor Rights Between Taiwan and China—Examples of Marriage and Maternity Leave

我國《勞動基準法》、《性別平等工作法》、《勞工請假規則》對於婦女勞工結婚、孕期、產期、哺乳期，各有不同的請假類別；中國對於婦女勞工婚假及產假之權益規範，除《中華人民共和國勞動法》、《女職工勞動保護特別規定》外，2021年8月復頒布《中華人民共和國人口與計劃生育法》。因應政經與勞動環境，並重視且落實婦女勞工相關請假權益，已是當前重要議題，兩岸各自在執行層面上是否已讓婦女勞工請婚假或產假時無後顧之憂，實有研究必要。因此，本文使用文獻分析法及比較法，透過兩岸保障婦女勞工關於婚假及產假之相關法律或規範，除介紹外且進行比較，同時找出兩岸現階段在保障婦女勞工婚假及產假之優缺點，提出問題的同時也比較差異性，做為研究成果。

Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act, Gender Equality in Employment Act, and Regulations of Leaves for Workers provide different types of leave for women workers during marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding periods. In China, women’s labor rights regarding marriage and maternity leave are regulated not only by the Labour Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Special Provisions for the Work Protection of Female Employees, but also by the Population and Family Planning Law of the People’s Republic of China reissued in August 2021. Responding to political, economic, and labor conditions while prioritizing and implementing women workers’leave rights has become an important issue today. It is necessary to study whether Taiwan and China, respectively, have effectively allowed women workers to take marriage leave or maternity leave without concerns. Therefore, this article uses literature review and comparative analysis of marriage and maternity leave laws for women workers between Taiwan and China, introducing and comparing regulations, identifying strengths and weaknesses of current protection for women workers’marriage and maternity leave between Taiwan and China, and discussing issues and contrasting differences as research outcomes.
