This paper is based on ethnographic research in a rural Taiwanese village in which married women with children are a major source of labor for local industry. Responsibility for job and home exposes these women to repeated stressors that can increase their susceptibility to illness. Existing explanatory models linking employment and women's health, however, do not explain adequately the women's response to their wage labor and the consequences of the social aspects of their work on their health. This paper describes women's work and its meaning, and discusses the way in which micro phenomena such as meanings and health states are linked to macro phenomena such as national political-economic processes and the world capitalist system.
本文基于对台湾一个乡村的人种志研究，在这个村子里，有孩子的已婚妇女是当地工业劳动力的主要来源。工作和家庭的责任使这些妇女反复面临压力源，这可能会增加她们患病的易感性。然而，现有的将就业与妇女健康联系起来的解释模型，并未充分解释这些妇女对其有偿劳动的反应，以及她们工作的社会层面因素对其健康产生的影响。本文描述了妇女的工作及其意义，并探讨了诸如意义和健康状况等微观现象与诸如国家政治经济进程和世界资本主义体系等宏观现象之间的联系。
