Abstract :
The paper aims to quantify the phenomenon of feminization of poverty, which based on the gender statistics from Taiwan´s government, and use GM (0,N) model as the mathematics model to analyze the low-income women problem from year 2006 to year 2010. The paper proposes the eight influence factors for the feminization of poverty at first. Through GM (0,N) calculation, the result shows that the three main factors influence women´s low-income are the women in hardship, the number of women divorced and female unemployment. Comparing to the actual study abroad, it is in good agreement with the actual situation.
