本論文探討在臺菲律賓籍看護與家務移工的經驗，深化對勞動移動女性化現象的理解，並分析她們如何透過移動與技能提升（upskilling）重新協商自身的權力位置。研究聚焦兩項核心問題：（1）哪些因素驅使菲律賓女性移工投入臺灣的照護與家務工作？（2）移動如何結合技能提升的機會，重塑她們在家庭與職場中的能動性、抱負與談判能力？本研究以「性別化經濟移動框架」（gendered economic migration framework, GEMF）為主要分析視角，結合「新勞動移動經濟學」（new economics of labor migration, NELM）及女性主義對全球照顧鏈與性別化勞動市場的論述。方法上採取質性研究，包括在非政府組織舉辦之教育課程中的參與觀察、23 位菲律賓籍看護與家務移工的半結構式訪談，並輔以與 NGO 人員及關鍵知情者的訪談。研究運用目的性與滾雪球抽樣，以接觸受雇於家庭、長照機構與相關場域之移工。研究發現，女性的移動決策源自結構限制與個人抱負的交互作用。她們離開菲律賓，以擺脫低薪與工作不穩定的處境，同時將海外移動視為支持子女教育、追求經濟自主與挑戰性別期待的策略。在臺期間，移工面對嚴格的勞動制度、仲介費用與脆弱的法律保障，但技能提升課程如語言、數位與職能訓練為她們提供重新定位自身角色的可能，使之得以想像自己作為學生、專業者與未來創業者。這些學習空間培養了新的自信、團結與長期規劃能力，即便結構性障礙依然限制其可實現的範圍。整體而言，本論文說明菲律賓女性移工如何在日常的工作、學習與匯款實踐中，同時再製與挑戰性別不平等，對女性化移工與全球照顧工作的相關論述作出重要貢獻。

This dissertation advances scholarship on the feminization of labor migration by examining Filipina care and domestic workers in Taiwan and the ways they leverage migration and upskilling to renegotiate power in their lives. It addresses two questions: (1) What motivates Filipina migrant workers to enter Taiwan’s care and domestic work sectors? and (2) How does migration, in conjunction with access to upskilling opportunities, reshape their sense of agency, aspirations, and bargaining power in the household and workplace? The analysis is guided by the gendered economic migration framework (GEMF), which integrates the new economics of labor migration (NELM) with feminist perspectives on global care chains and gendered labor markets. Empirically, the study draws on qualitative fieldwork in Taiwan, combining participant observation in an NGO-led educational program for migrant workers with 23 semi-structured interviews with Filipina care and domestic workers, complemented by interviews with NGO staff and key informants. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to reach workers employed in households, long-term care institutions, and related settings. Findings reveal that women’s migration decisions emerge from the dynamic interplay between structural constraints and individual aspirations. Migrants leave the Philippines to escape low wages, precarious employment, and limited social protection, but they also frame migration as a strategy to finance children’s education, secure financial independence, and contest gendered expectations within their families. In Taiwan, they confront restrictive labor regimes, recruitment debts, and fragile legal protections, yet they also access upskilling programs, such as language, digital, and vocational training that enable them to reimagine themselves as students, professionals, and prospective entrepreneurs. These learning spaces foster new forms of confidence, solidarity, and long-term planning, even as enduring structural barriers narrow the horizons of what is attainable. Overall, the dissertation contributes to debates on feminized migration and global care work by showing how Filipina migrants in Taiwan simultaneously reproduce and contest gendered inequalities through everyday practices of work, learning, and remittance-making.
