問題詳情

V.篇章結構(10%)     In the past, Taiwan’s economy was the pride or Asia and the envy of the rest of the world. 43 People around the island prospered and Taiwan’s middle class grew larger and larger. 44 studies have shown that Taiwan’s economy has now actually become more M-shaped, and it continues to move in this direction.     When an economy is M-shaped, there are a lot of people with low incomes and also a lot of people with high incomes. However, there aren’t many people with average incomes. 45 Yet, there are also more poor people in Taiwan now, and Taiwan’s middle class is shrinking.     In addition, according to one government study, the average yearly income for the poorest households in Taiwan fell from NT$52,820 in 2000 to NT$34,866 in 2006. On the other hand, the average yearly income for Taiwan’s wealthiest households grew from NT$1,621,747 in 2000 to NT$1,741,669 in 2006.   For those in the middle class, many have discovered that they are working longer hours, but are making less money than they did in the past. Some feel pressure to work overtime, but they do not receive any overtime pay or other benefits for putting in these extra hours at work. 46 They consider themselves the “working poor” continues to grow.     47 Unfortunately, some of these changes are not positive, since the gap between the very rich and the very poor in Taiwan continues to widen, and more and more people in the middle class are working longer hours for less money.
