Abstract:	本文利用台灣行政院主計處人力運用調查數據，研究新冠疫情如何不平等的影響台灣勞動市場。我採用差異中之差異法設計，比較在2020年(疫情發生後)勞動市場中遠端工作能力低於50%(低於50%工作份額可遠端完成)和高於50%的勞工的薪資、工時、時薪與失業率差異，结果表明，在台灣，低遠端工作能力的工作者的每月工時則顯著減少了1.57小時，然而，意外的是月薪資與時薪並無顯著下降，並且失業率也沒有顯著的上升的趨勢。此外，低遠端工作能力者的教育程度背景相較弱勢，平均教育程度在大學學歷以上僅20%，並且多任職於需密切與人接觸或需提供勞力才能完成的工作崗位。這表明工作性質與教育背景可能是造成勞工在疫情下受到不平等衝擊的原因。 This paper examines how Covid-19 epidemic affects the unequal Taiwanese labor market, using data from the Manpower Utilization Survey conducted by the General Accounting Office of the Executive Yuan, I employ a difference-in-differences design by comparing the differences in wages, working hours, hourly pay and unemployment rates between workers with lower than 50% and higher than 50% work-from-home workability in the labor market in 2020 after the epidemic. (less or more than 50% share of work can be done remotely) the results suggest that in Taiwan, the monthly working hours with low remote work capacity are significantly reduced by 1.57 hours, However, surprisingly, there is no significant decrease in monthly wages and hourly earnings did not decrease significantly as well. The unemployment rate also did not show a significant upward trend. In addition, the educational background of low work-from-home workers is relatively weak, with an average of only 20% with a college degree or higher, and they tend to work in jobs that require face-to-face contact with people or labor to perform. Suggesting that the nature of work and educational attainment may have contributed to the unequal impact on workers in the epidemic.
