碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 農業經濟學研究所 / 106 / The Farmer Health Insurance Program and Old Farmer Pension Program are the two major social welfare systems in Taiwan. After the implementation of the program in 1989, the Farmer Health Insurance Program had encountered several challenges, including the steadily increasing aged agricultural labor structure and the diminishing of the labor force participation of young farm population. Due to the unbalanced fiscal status, the political intervention and the huge expenditure of the old farmer pension fund, these two social welfare programs have been called for policy reforms. These two policy programs designed to maintain the farmer’s health and to secure the elderly farmer’s financial well-beings went function failure to achieve the original purposes.
With many amendments of the Farmer Health Insurance Program and Old Farmer Pension Program since 2001, these two policies can no longer practically meet the consensus of the Taiwan society. A new farmer’s social welfare pension policy with a sustainable financial design, a border protection program, and a comprehensive payment system must be discussed when the Pension Reform Committee establish the new farmer’s social welfare system.
Agricultural activities in the regions alone the Taiwan southwest coast, such as Qieding district of Kaoshiung city, are different from the other rural regions. The fish cultivation farmers in those areas usually have two identities that can both join the farm’s association and fisherman’s association. Those distinct aquaculture activities were not often studied and surveyed in the previous studies. In order to understand the relationship between the Farmer’s and Fisherman’s Pension Programs with agricultural activity behavior, this research conducts a survey and focuses on the willingness and acceptances of the new farmer’s pension policy and off-farm pension. This study also uses the ordinary least squares regression method and the Probit model to interpret the relationship between the personal characteristics and the propensity of the individuals to accept new farmer pension program.
