Political Economy of Work and Employability Educational Challenges: Boundaryless Careers of Youth and Career Capital | Chapter 7 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 8

 The confluence of an ageing population, a knowledge economy, and professional labour mobility raises educational concerns. Societies are moving closer to a norm of social politics centred on flexible labour markets and structural exclusion, which modifies access to social inclusion through education and employment. In the context of the current capital crisis, an examination of national education and employment policies is critical. Taiwan accommodates global capital through deregulating and opening up its markets, participating actively in the competition for the brightest minds, and cultivating a cosmopolitan attitude. The author discusses the rescaling processes that are affecting Taiwan's young. Young people are entering a world of work that is rife with uncertainty, owing to increased global competition and contractual flexibility. The purpose of this study is to look at some of the most important aspects of social development in Taiwan, which has seen considerable changes in its occupational structure, labour market, economy, and educational provision since the 1980s. There are three objectives in this study. The first examines structural and institutional changes, as well as essential components of the country's political economy, labour market, and education. The second is concerned with patterns and trends in occupational and social mobility, as well as their relationship to the changing role of education. Finally, this study examines the perspectives of young people in order to acquire a better understanding of the social, political, and cultural elements that influence school-to-work transitions and social mobility. To acquire descriptive statistics, a literature review is used.
