Chapter 2 in Welfare Capitalism in Taiwan, 1997, pp 31-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The end of the Second World War was a time of radical change for Taiwan. Japanese colonization was replaced by the KMT rule which continues to the present day. A modern social security system was introduced in Taiwan during this period and became the major welfare measure of the state. The 1980s was a very crucial decade for welfare development in Taiwan, especially the first universal welfare scheme in Taiwan’s history: National Health Insurance. This is the reason that the postwar period is divided into two periods, before and after 1979. We will talk about the period from 1945 to 1979 first.
