Wage Premium via Education &Gender Difference through Labor Disputes on OFDI in Taiwan ROC

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.
