來自東南亞裔的女性外籍配偶，來到台灣往往遇到各方面的適應問題。以往已經有不少研究從就業、教育，親子等各方面加以探討。然而，這些研究大多侷限於縣市區域或是個案訪談，比較少有全國性的大規模樣本的分析。其中經濟議題攸關其生活極鉅，因此也最為重要。本研究運用全國性的資料，了解來自東南亞的女性外籍配偶，就業狀態與接受職業訓練意願，以及其經濟社會人口變項的關聯。

Female foreign spouses from Southeast Asia encounter various adaptation issues. Previous research has focused on their employment, education, and parenting aspects. Nevertheless, these studies were mostly confined to particular counties or case studies, but did not analyze nationwide samples. Among these issues, economy is one of the most important, which has a tremendous impact on their life. This study draws on a national representative dataset to understand the employment status and vocational training need for female spouses from Southeast Asia, while controlling for socioeconomic and demographic factors.
