Abstract
We studied specific labor market
outcomes to ascertain and compare
the effects of labor laws
(contemplating the cases of labor
disputes) and the effect of education
of labor on wage in Taiwan.
The rising cases of labor
disputes have also made certain
amount of positive impact on the
wages of educated workers in the
outward FDI intensive industries
in Taiwan. The country has time
and again resisted stern enforcement
of labor regulations as it
believed that stringent conditions
would bring in additional wage
premium via educational difference,
thus compelling the domestic
firms to move outside Taiwan.
It also created a narrow difference
between gender on wage
premium because of educational
qualification where wages of
women workers had increased
more than mens wages.
