ABSTRACT
In the highly competitive 21 century, management of human resources has to take
gender issues into account in order to improve diversity. In September 1995, representatives
from 189 countries attended United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
The representatives signed the “Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action” during the
meeting to formally propose and advocate the idea of gender mainstreaming to provide
directions for developing strategies of pursuing and implementing gender equity.
The idea of gender mainstreaming has been accepted in Taiwan in the recent years. As
a result, ensuring gender equity has become more important. The government has showed
its efforts to pursue gender equity by passing and enforcing the Act of Equal Employment for
Men and Women, and by implementing the Plan to Develop Female Leaders in all Executive
Yuan Organizations. However, the percentage of women to be promoted to middle or
high-ranking executives is still relative low in the public sector. Therefore, this research
intends to critically examine gender issues in the public service in Taiwan. It is hoped that a
series of practical recommendations can be developed to improve the programs ensuring
gender equity or the implementation of these programs.
Based on these thoughts, this research will utilize methods such as literature review,
in-depth interview, and focus group to understand characteristics of public organization in
Taiwan, find whether women in Taiwan are treated unfairly regarding their career
development, review the practices of human resource management of OECD countries
promoting gender mainstreaming, and propose ways of duplicating successful gender
mainstreaming programs in Taiwan, including developing sensitive gender indicators. By
achieving these proposed goals, this research hopes to improve public human resource
management practice and contribute to the realization of gender mainstreaming in Taiwan.
