According to the Statistical Yearbook from the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China, of all the babies born in 2002, foreigh mothers (including mothers from the Mainland China) accounted for 13.2%. The purpose of this study is of twofold. First, to investigate the association between Taiwanese man's demographical and socioeconomic factors and his spouse’s original nationality. Second, to investigate the association between the demographical and socioeconomic factors of foreign
immigrant women and their children’s health.
This cross-sectional study employs a secondary data “The Survey on Living Status of immigrants women “ administered by the Ministry of Interior. Statistical methods employed included descriptive statistics, Chi-Square Test, logistic regression and multinomial logit model.
The main findings from this study are summarized as follows. First, original
nationality of spouse was associated with Taiwanese man’s age at marriage, education level, working state, health condition and social assistance status. Second, contrary to findings from previous studies, children’s health was not associated with mother’s original nationality, age at birth, and education level. In addition, children’s health was also associated with mother’s working statuse and length of stayin Taiwan. Furthermore, children’s health condition was associated with father’s working status and health condition. Study found that moderately illed Taiwanese menwere more likely to marry women from the Southeast Asian and seriously illed men were more likely to marry women from Mainland China. Father’s health status, in stead of
mother’s original nationality, was significantly associated with children’s health status. Children of illed fathers are relatively apt to suffer from the developmental delays, disabilities and critical Illness.
