Abstract
Manuel
Castells bring up idea in his THE RISE OF THE NETWORK SOCIETY：
In this perspective, societies will be informational, not because they fit
into a particular model of social structure, but because they organize
their production system around the principles of maximizing knowledged-based
productivity through the development and diffusion of information
technologies, and by fulfilling the prerequisites for their utilization
(primary human resources and communications infrastructure.)
By
tracing the historical development between occupational structure and
employment condition from 1920 to 1990 among G7 advanced capitalist
countries, he examined the consistency and difference in the transitional
process of labor and employment situations from post-industrial conditions
to informational society among those countries. By using Taiwanese data,
the author in this paper tries to apply the same method in order to
investigate the transitional process from postindustrialism into
informationalism in Taiwanese society.
