育嬰留職停薪期滿者未續留職場因素探討——公務資料的運用

The Exploration of Factors for Parental Leave Allowance Applications Not Returning to Work—by Analysis of Government Data

本文運用2016年7月至2022年12月勞保資料庫的公務資料，並與財稅資料勾稽，探討育嬰留職停薪期滿者未能重返職場的主要原因。本文依據基準期（2022年7月-2022年12月）有無投保（就業），追蹤申請育嬰留停者期滿後之職涯發展，可區分為3類，分別是就業者、曾就業但基準時間未就業者，以及完全未就業者，其中完全未就業比重約兩成。資料顯示育嬰留職停薪期滿者之後的職涯選擇受到多個因素的影響，包括個人身分、申請次數、家庭特徵、企業規模，以及行業特性之外，申請者家庭中的幼年扶養比越高，重返職場的壓力越大，而家庭收入較高者則較有能力兼顧職場與家庭。

This study uses the data from Labor Insurance database from July 2016 to December 2022, and cross-references with Individual Income Tax data to explore the main reasons why those who have completed parental leave are unable to return to the workplace. This article tracks the career development of those who applied for parental leave after the expiration of the period based on whether they were insured (employed) during the reference period (July 2022 - December 2022). They can be divided into three categories: employed, those who were employed but unemployed at the reference time, and those who are completely unemployed, among which the proportion of those who are completely unemployed is about 20%. Data shows that the career choices of those who have completed parental leave are affected by several factors, including personal characteristics, the number of parental leave applications submitted, family characteristics, company size, and industry characteristics. In addition, the presence of young dependents in the household increased pressure to return to work, while higher household income offered greater麍xibility in balancing work and family responsibilities.
