本研究主要探討荷蘭與臺灣製造業現況之差異性，並發現與臺灣製造業的移工相比，荷蘭製造業移工的工作待遇較好，且機會較多。本研究採用“深描”的方法並透過觀察、荷蘭的的網絡訪談以及臺灣的面對面訪談蒐集資料。研究發現七個不同主題的相似點與不同點，分別為：出國工作的原因、招聘流程、生活條件、工作條件、困境、適應能力與工作機會。再進一步的定性研究表明，從招聘過程到未來觀點出發，荷蘭製造業的移工已擁有更多的自由與機會，意味著他們可選擇性的留在荷蘭創造屬於自己的未來, 且已被視為本地工人對待以及具有與本地工人相同的工作機會。相反的，臺灣製造業的移工則受到歧視，被當作“勞工工人”使喚且沒有任何晉升機會

This research compares the situation of migrant workers in the Dutch manufacturing and Taiwanese manufacturing sector. The main line of argument is that migrant workers in the Dutch manufacturing sector are treated better and that they have more opportunities compared to migrant workers in the Taiwanese manufacturing sector. The data is collected through online interviews in the Netherlands, face-to-face interviews in Taiwan and observations, in which I created additional context by using the ‘Thick Description’ method. The data shows similarities and differences in seven different themes, which are: 1) Reason to Work Abroad; 2) Recruitment Process; 3) Living Conditions; 4) Working Conditions; 5) Difficulties; 6) Adaptability; and 7) Job Opportunities. This in-depth qualitative research shows that migrant workers in the Dutch manufacturing sector already have more freedom and opportunities from the recruitment process till future perspectives, which means that migrant workers have the option to build up a future in the Netherlands. They are treated like native workers and have the same opportunities as them, while migrant workers in the Taiwanese manufacturing sector are being discriminated and are used as a ‘labor worker’ without any promotion opportunities.
