The purpose of this research is to investigate the likely changes in occupations, employment, and wage structure in the transition to an information economy in newly industrialized countries (NICs) such as Taiwan. This paper answers two broad questions in relation to the influence of informationalization in Taiwan’s economic society. First, to what extent has Taiwan made the transition to an information economy? And secondly, what changes have occurred in occupations, employment trends, and wage structure in Taiwan during this transition?
