To maintain political stability and a cheap, elastic labour supply necessary for contemporary capitalism to operate in Taiwan, the government allocates a large share of its budget to national security, a small share to a social welfare infrastructure, and encourages an ideology of patriarchal familism. This paper examines how women facilitate Taiwan's comparative advantage in the world economy by considering: (1) the ways in which women from a small village community act in defence of the patriarchal family; (2) what their interests may be in maintaining such a family; and (3) how development affects their lives. |
