"Based on the cohort component projection, this paper simulates the effects of fertility compression on birth sequence and age composition in Taiwan, and explores the implications for social welfare. As a first step, we fix the fertility schedule on the age pattern of 1956 while leaving the TFR to shift as it was, [and] simulate the single year of age population groups from 1956 to 1992.... We subsequently assumed a fixed age pattern of fertility, a compressed pattern and an expanded pattern in a projection of five year...age groups from 1997 to 2097." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"This research attempts to explore the modes of women's job careers in Taiwan. Using the 1991 wave of 'Taiwanese Social Change Surveys' data, we adopt the information regarding married female respondents' job history since their marriage and found four major modes of job careers in terms of family life cycles: never-stop, stop-after-marriage, stop-after-birth, and never on job.... We further explore the explanatory factors (including individuals' traits, family background factors, and current family statuses) with multi-nominal logistic models." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"This paper aims to find out the role of living arrangements in economic support for the elderly in Taiwan.... To fulfill this goal, primary and secondary sources of living costs are used to derive four types of economic support for the elderly.... Our analytical results suggest that living arrangements play a role of specification. Of the elderly who are not living with children, these have substantially greater proportions of the independent type than those living with children." (SUMMARY IN CHI)

"The purpose of the paper is to examine the nature and the structure of elderly women's dependency [in Taiwan] and the underlying socio-cultural-political forces. From the social constructive perspective, we focused on three constructive forces--the Chinese patriarchal/patrilocal family system, the gender role, and the state policy on elderly welfare. Three types of dependency--economic dependency, dependency for personal and health care, and living arrangement--were examined." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

"This paper extends research on the difference in ageing factors between Taipei City and Taiwan's rural area in terms of the changes in fertility, mortality, and migration rates.... The analysis--based on data collected from 1968-1993 demographic data in Taiwan-Fukien Demographic Fact Book...provides strong evidence that population processes (fertility, mortality, and migration) have different influences on the population ageing of Tapei City and Taiwan's rural area."

"This study describes...changes in marital status during [the twentieth] century, by analyzing each census result conducted during the time of Japanese occupation and after the war in Taiwan. Taking the age specific statistics, which include sex ratio, proportion...ever married, the widowed, and the divorced, as well as rates of divorce and remarriage, this study presents the marriage patterns in terms of formation, dissolution and reformation in Taiwan of this century."

"In this paper we employ family status life tables to assess the effects of demographic processes on family composition and to reveal trends in elderly living arrangements [in Taiwan]. We found that further declining fertility and changing nuptiality are responsible for the prevalence of nuclear family composition. [The] increasing proportion of nuclear families indicates a decreasing probability [of] elderly parents living with their married children. In addition, according to the current nuptiality trends, the increasing proportion of women of all ages who remain [unmarried] will strengthen its effects on family composition in the near future."

"The purpose of this paper is to study the selectivity in...internal migration in Mainland China with respect to the level of education, based on a sample of young adults (aged 17-29) taken from the micro data of the 1987 one-percent National Population Survey (NPS87)....[We focus first] on the education selectivity in migrations among the city, town and rural strata of the urban/rural hierarchy [and then examine] the education selectivity in migration among metropolitan, coastal and interior regions."

"To improve...understanding of recent developments and thus gain a better appreciation of the likely future course of marital events, we apply a marital status life table model...to describe the differential risks for persons moving from one marital status to another over time.... The findings...point to the trends and patterns of marital formation, marital dissolution, and mortality experience of Taiwan in 1976 and 1989. The findings indicate declines in the proportion ever marrying and increases in the average age at marriage. The average duration of a marriage and the proportion of cohort life lived in [the] married state have been [declining]. The proportion of marriages ending in divorce has been rising steadily.... The level, however, is still relatively low by international standards." (SUMMARY IN CHI)
