The impact of experience and perceptions of social mobility on the life satisfaction of young people in Taiwan and Hong Kong
This article, which is based on a comparative telephone survey conducted in 2016, examines the relationship between social mobility experience and the life satisfaction of people aged 18 to 35 in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Using both objective and subjective measures of social mobility, we found that young people’s perceptions of their own social mobility and that of the entire youth population correlated positively with life satisfaction. However, th…

The student-led movements of 2014 and public opinion

The basic patterns of the relationship between socio-demographic attributes, political attitudes, as well as the evaluation of…

Its emergence was also accompanied by the decline of the traditional informal labor sector and the increase of unemployment. It is argued that the issue of precarious work can mainly be explained by the rise of the "informalization" of empl…

The Taiwan-Mainland economic nexus
Most researchers on Taiwan's Mainland investment are economists who tend to focus on the economic dimension of the Taiwan-Mainland nexus. Consequently they are unable to explain both the timing (why it started in 1987), the locale (why in Guangdong and Fujian), the ownership (why the preference for sole ownership), the investors (why small and medium enterprises took the lead), and the speed (why such a rapid rate) of Taiwan's Mainland investment…
Land-Housing Problems and the Limits of the Non-Homeowners Movement in Taiwan
This paper attempts to analyze the socioeconomic causes, the social bases of mobilization, and the structural limits of the non-homeowners movement in Taiwan since the 1980s. In postwar Taiwan there have been three waves of land and housing price hikes, the first in 1973, the second in 1978, and the most recent one in 1987. The results were the skyrocketing of the overall real estate and urban housing prices and frustration and resentment among t…

Les organisations bouddhistes socialement engagées à Taiwan
Le bouddhisme socialement engagé est un phénomène religieux nouveau à Taiwan. Il se traduit par l’émergence d’organisations qui se consacrent au bien-être social des personnes démunies ou des malades. L’essor de ces organisations a été parallèle à la démocratisation. Le nombre d’adeptes du bouddhisme a augmenté rapidement dans les années 1990, à tel point que 13 % de la population adulte taiwanaise s’identifie désormais à cette religion. Cet arti…
