台灣青年申請打工度假簽證之趨勢分析 －以澳洲為例

Abstract

2004年起，台灣政府陸續與澳洲、紐西蘭等其他國家簽署打工度假協議，讓18~30歲的青年可利用海外打工的勞務所得進行為期一年的旅遊，在近五年（2008.7.1~2013.6.30）中前往澳洲打工度假人數有明顯遞增的趨勢，本研究採用次級資料分析、皮爾森相關係數分析及深度訪談法來探討打工度假者的動機與誘因，針對失業率、基本工資、平均薪資做相關係數檢定，並從實證結果中得到以下結論：打工度假國家的開放程度、薪資差異幅度與打工度假簽證申請人數成高度正相關，而英語系國家對申請者具有激勵性效果。

Taiwan’s government has signed a reciprocal working holiday agreement with Australia, New Zealand, and other countries since 2004. Working holiday program was a temporary mechanism which allows young people aged from 18~30 to travel and work abroad for 1 year, during the past five years (2008.7.1~2013.6.30), there was a significant increasing trend of applying Australian working holiday visa (WHV). This study uses the secondary data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and in-depth interview, in order to explore WHV makers’ motivator and incentive and make a correlation coefficient test against unemployment rate, basic salary, and average salary. The major empirical findings are as follows: The level of openness and range of salary differences have significantly positive effects on the number of WHV applications, and English-speaking country is regarded as an incentive factor to WHV makers.
