Taiwan was famous for ¡§Taiwan Miracle¡¨, ¡§Four Dragon in Asia¡¨, ¡§The Role Model of the Developing Countries¡¨ with the rapid economic development. The most remarkable achievement of Taiwan was her continuous adjustment and transformation of the industrial structures. The development of the industrial structures in Taiwan usually follows the steps of the developed countries. With having a series of changing process, from the agricultural era to the industrial, service and high-tech industry, it produced a lot of impact effects, especially the unfairness of the income distribution. Hence, this thesis is going to combine the both and discusses that from the change of the industrial structures if it would be the main factors of influencing the source and level of income and then lead to the unfair distribution of wealth.
From the dividing time period of 1987, the government opened our citizens to visit their relatives in Mainland China. We analyze the impact of income distribution from the change of Taiwan industrial structures by three phases of ¡§manpower investment¡¨, ¡§intensive degree of capital and technology¡¨ and ¡§export industry structure¡¨. First of all, in the phase of manpower, according to employee structure of three- level industry, service has got the first place, industry got the second place and agriculture got the last place. As a long trend view, the gap of the industrial structure is getting close and the manpower distribution is getting stable. However, the adjustment of the industrial structure has caused unemployment problem for the non-transferred low-tech labors. Especially from the 1997, the main reason of the unemployment in Taiwan is the change of the industrial structure. Moreover, Taiwan businessmen who invest a lot in Mainland China have caused magnetic effect to speed up the structural unemployment.
In the phase of the intensive degree of the capital and technology, we utilize industry to observe and discover that most of the high labor-intensive industry move abroad in order to lower the labor cost. However, electric, electronic and communication commodities are toward the development of the capital intensive commodity and invest abroad to replace domestic manufacture. Moreover, according to the change of industry investment, we discover that the establishment of southern industrial park, Kaohsiung industrial park and the government incentive policy have not only speeded up the growth of high-tech industry but also promoted metal and chemical development of the mid and lower material.
In the phase of the export industry structure, the Mainland China has already surpassed other countries to be the trade main area in Taiwan. In the part of the export commodity, owing to the investment of abroad, it leads to the export chain effect of domestic mechanical commodity and promotes the export of domestic material. Low-labor intensive, high-capital intensive and high-tech intensive commodities have the highest occupied rate.
From the above three different phases, we discover that in the impact of change for the industry structure, it not only has significant effect for the macro economy but also deeply affects the gap of the high and low family income. According to the model of variation, if we continue to develop, the distribution of the family income is going to be an enlarged trend year by year.
