摘要/Abstract

收養孩童風俗盛行於日治時期的臺灣漢人社會。藉由分析《臺灣日治時期戶口調查簿(1906–1945)》資料庫之資料,研究者探討新竹地區孩童送養現象。數據資料首先顯示,送養的女童人數明顯多於男童,且多非常年幼。重要地,孩童的手足組成或結構影響著孩童的送養風險。研究者認為,送養行為係為家戶存續策略的一環,也是一種家戶的理性行動或計畫行為。家戶決策者為維持家戶的存續,在其男嗣傳承的傳宗接代目標得以達成的情況下,送養部分家戶中之合適孩童。因此,相較於男童,女童的送養機率會較高。長子女的送養風險遠低於後出生序的孩童。

Adoption was prevalent in colonial Taiwan. Drawing data from the Taiwan Historical Household Registers Database (1906–1945), the researcher investigates the factors associated with the likelihood of out-adoption among children in Xinzhu. In addition to finding that girls were more likely to be adopted out than boys, and that most adoptions occurred at a young age, the statistical results show that sibling composition was important. Giving up a first-born boy or girl for adoption was rare. Consequently, the researcher argues that giving up specific children for adoption could be a planned household action that was one of the family survival strategies to overcome family difficulties. Offering children up for adoption would not occur until family continuity was ensured.
