요약 : Using 1999-2001 Luxembourg Income Study data, I examine cross-national patterns of child and elderly poverty at the aggregate level and the individual level. Relative to 21 Western welfare states, Taiwan has a moderate level of child poverty but a much higher level of elderly poverty, leading to the largest elderly-child poverty gap. I show that Taiwan significantly differs from the other countries in three major structural factors—social welfare provisions, labor market income inequality, and household composition—and I document poverty differences across household types. Relative to other welfare regimes, Taiwan has a low rate of single-parent households, a high rate of older adults who live with family members, and fairly inefficient social welfare. Standardization and decomposition and multi-level analyses systematically test the effects of both structural and household-level factors on the difference in poverty between Taiwan and Western countries. At the aggregate and structural level, the results of standardization and decomposition analyses indicate that Taiwan's low welfare efficiency and limited social provisions make the largest contribution to both child and elder poverty, but they have a much greater effect on elderly poverty. Older adults' higher rates of co-residence with family members have a strong ameliorating impact on elderly poverty in Taiwan. As to individual poverty risks, the multi-level analyses show that the structural factors, including social welfare regime type and social spending, are the major factors shaping the differences in individual poverty across countries. Implications for the institutionalization of poverty risks across life course stages are discussed in light of the development of welfare states and recent demographic and economic trends in Taiwan and similar East Asian countries.
