[[The effect of demographic structural change on labor utilization in Taiwan]]

"The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of demographic structural change on labor utilization in Taiwan.... Both purging method and decomposing rate differences method are used to analyze labor utilization data obtained from reports on the Manpower Utilization Survey from 1980 to 1989. The results suggest that the age-sex composition change of labor force from 1980 to 1989 pushed down the crude rate of labor underutilization in the labor market; the education-sex composition change pulled up crude rate of underutilization; and marital status-sex composition change also pushed down crude underutilization rate. In sum, the demographic structural change of labor force in Taiwan does have [an] obvious impact on labor utilization." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
