讲座内容简介：A Sequence Analysis on Marriage and Birth Trajectories of Taiwanese Female in Japanese Colonial Period and Contemporary Taiwan
Marriage type in Taiwan has dramatically changed in the past centuries. Along with the reform of education, employment, family and legislation, the changing marriage type not only remodel sex role of spouse but also alter female life planning. This talk brings into the concept of life course and regards marriage as a sequence of discrete transitions. We aim to uncover marriage and birth trajectories of Taiwanese female in Hsinchu area during Japanese colonial period and contemporary Taiwan through constructing the female life history processes. In order to describe the single-to-marriage-to-birth transitions, we use methods of optimal matching and cluster analysis technique to analyze Japanese household registries in Hsinchu area and current Taiwan, circa 2004. The analysis reveals over eight-in-ten Taiwanese female aged from 15 to 40 in Hsinchu area got married and started on birth considerably early in their life trajectories and it could be divided into five-cluster typology; while contemporary Taiwanese female marriage and birth trajectories demonstrate a different late marriage and birth sequences as compared to colonial Taiwan.
