Youth Transition And Life Course Policy In Social Investment States: An Exploration Of Related Social Policy Reforms In Sweden And Uk, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
It is one of the most important issues to resolve youth unemployment problem for every country during the era of rapid economic and social-structural transformation. Related strategies of the European Union stressed the policy instruments of prompting human capital for unemployed youth. How does the social investment state idea strengthen labor supply through state power and combine with different institutional context of state? What is the specific life course policy for these states? In this article I try to trace the two representatives of social investment state in European Union -- Sweden and UK, especially about youth transition from the …

Toward A Low Wage World: The Development And Limitation Of Taiwan' Labor Regime(1980s~2010s), Wei-Yi Chang, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
This article tries to explain why Taiwan’s labor regime has fallen into a low wage environment. A review of literature shows that existing studies consider only the elements of state, capital, labor, or the social environment to explain the low wage within different historical stages. But the literature to date could not answer the question as for why Taiwan’s labor wage did not increase with economic growth after 2000s. In order to bridge the gap, the legislation and amendment of related labor laws from 1980s to 2010s was explored through the perspective of historical institutionalism. It was found that the …

With the economic globalization, the transformation of post industrialized, and the change of employment pattern, the women’s labor participation is still rising. This phenomenon not only affected the breadwinner model which were shaped by the welfare regime, but also caused the consequence of baby bust and ageing population. This article will explore the changing paths of welfare regimes which includes the social democracy-Sweden, the conservatism-Germany, and the liberal- the U.S.A. We try to clarify the effect of reform ideas for the changing paths of breadwinner model behind the welfare regimes, and the policy implications for the work and life balance.
Research Approach Exploring Integrating Employment And Family Policy: Review Of Policy Objectives For The Population Policy White Paper In Taiwan, Chih-Lung Huang
Research Approach Exploring Integrating Employment And Family Policy: Review Of Policy Objectives For The Population Policy White Paper In Taiwan, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
One of the main purposes of the Population Policy White Paper in Taiwan is to seek solutions to the baby bust trend. Through strengthening family policy, the Population Policy White Paper in Taiwan tries to satisfy the need for a balance between work and family for women. However, the need is not only concerned with the baby bust problem, but also about the institutional and structural problems on culture and welfare systems under the conventional male breadwinner model. This article will explain the reason why the issue of work and family life balance should consider gender equality. Through the dual …

Integrating Breadwinning And Childcare In The Family Policy Formation In Taiwan, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
The baby bust problem in Taiwan is not only related to the question of the undertaking of breadwinning between man and woman in the household, but also the allocation of child care responsibility. The integration of breadwinning and child care through family policy formation is expected to resolve baby bust problem and gender equality at the same time in Taiwan. This article analyzes the policy idea and instruments of child care policies and its planning. We try to understand the reshape pattern of the breadwinner model and the goal of gender equality behind policy development. The research results showed that …

Rethinking Old Age Income Security In Taiwan: With A Discussion Of Pension Reform In The Uk And Germany, Chih-Lung Huang, Shrsyung Chang
Chih-lung Huang
After the amended provisions of the National Pension Act came into effect in October 2008, creating a new retirement system that joined up the existing military personnel, public school teacher, and labor pension schemes as well as individual accounts and farmers' non-contributory welfare subsidies, Taiwan's system of safeguards for economic security in old age was still fragmented but finally covered the whole of the population. Compared with the previous two-track system, with social insurance as the main form and social relief as the subsidiary form of retirement security, the new framework blends and confuses individual savings accounts and new elements …
Rethinking The Old Age Income Security For All In Taiwan, Chih-Lung Huang
Rethinking The Old Age Income Security For All In Taiwan, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
The National Pension Act of October 2008 completed a fragmentary framework for old age income security in Taiwan. Although coverage was universal, however, it was far from equal. Several different income security schemes were established, and the political process tended to lump together such contradictory institutional logics as insurance, assistance, and allowance. Advocates of an integrated universal insurance program see this piecemeal approach as a policy failure. Nonetheless, these advocates fail to take into account the fluid nature of structural social crises. This paper instead proposes a new, multi-layered division of citizen responsibility. This approach will allow citizens and the …
The Exploration Of Taiwan’S Parental Leave And The Reform Program: The Examination Of A Theory Perspective, Chih-Lung Huang
The Exploration Of Taiwan’S Parental Leave And The Reform Program: The Examination Of A Theory Perspective, Chih-Lung Huang
Chih-lung Huang
How to balance work and life along the continuation of economic globalization and post industrial transformation has been the research focus of social policy academics. This article examines the institution of parental leave and its reform program in Taiwan from Nancy Fraser’s perspective dualism-redistribution and recognition. The research result appears that the policy and reform program can’t make men to share the family care work on the perspective dualism. It is the key point that makes men and women undertake the employment labour and care work through the joint participation for future reform.
Accommoplishment Of Job Growth With Social Security Maintenance-Theoretical Disputes And Policy Implications From The Dutch Social Reform, Chih-Lung Huang, Shrsyung Chang
Accommoplishment Of Job Growth With Social Security Maintenance-Theoretical Disputes And Policy Implications From The Dutch Social Reform, Chih-Lung Huang, Shrsyung Chang

Western advanced industrial states have recently been stumbling over a dilemma resulting from both growing unemployment rates and welfare expenditures. Such a dilemma was once known as “Dutch Dis-ease” in the 1980s. Following a series of policy reform, a “Dutch Miracle” has occurred since the 1990s in both job growth and suc-cessful redeployment of social security. Meanwhile, policy processes and acquired outcomes in the Netherlands have provoked and stimu-lated almost a “research industry” in itself, and have sparked a hope that might shed some light on the way to go beyond this current post-industrial dilemma. This paper provides an analytic-dynamic …
