The debate on whether high standards of labour market legislation
affect economic growth and the rate of employment is topical and
important. The contributors to this book address three main issues:
how Taiwan's labour market was able to work so well prior to 1996,
maintaining full employment for the last 40 years, regardless of
the rapid change of industrial structure in the 1980s; what factors
can be attributed to the rapid deterioration of Taiwan's labour
market performance since 1996; the measures adopted by the Taiwan
government in tackling the recent high unemployment rate, how
effective these policies are and what lessons scholars and public
policy makers in other countries can learn from Taiwan's
experience. An integrated labour-market model (a revision of the
Harris-Todaro dualistic labour market model) is presented which can
be used to analyze labour market operation in other developing
countries. The effectiveness of various policies adopted by the
Taiwanese government in tackling high unemployment rate is examined
and the findings shed light on public policies in other developing
and newly industrialized countries.The Labour Market and Economic
Development of Taiwan will appeal to scholars of Asian studies,
public policy, economic development and labour economists.
