San Gee of the Chung-hua Institute for Economic Research has found that caring for children is indeed the most important factor affecting women's participation in the labor force and that it has a far greater impact on nuclear families than in families with these extended relationships. If the parents in these families can provide assistance in caring for these children, it will be easier for married women to engage in paid work.
中華經濟研究院研究員單驥曾作研究發現，六歲以下小孩的照顧問題，的確是影響婦女勞動參與的重要因素，且其影響力在核心家庭中，遠比折衷家庭（父母與已婚子女同住之大家庭）為大；而折衷家庭中的祖父母若能幫忙照顧小孩，就更能促使已婚婦女從事更多有酬工作。
