摘要 Social assistance policies are important policy tools to address the problem of poverty. In Taiwan, these policies have evolved in the last few decades to adapt to the changes of the socio-economic environment and the needs of financially disadvantaged people. The aims of this study are to demonstrate the level of poverty problem and show the extent to which social assistance policies can respond to the needs of financially disadvantaged people in Taiwan. It firstly adopts secondary data analysis and uses government survey datasets to analyze the problem of poverty in Taiwan and demonstrates how it compares to OECD countries. Second, this study uses the method of documentary analysis to review the development and main characteristics of social assistance policies in Taiwan such as family ethics, fictitious income, employment promotion measures and so on to discuss important issues and debates regarding the design and implementation of these policies. Moreover, this study examines the recent development of Child Development Account and its implementation in Taiwan. Finally, this study shows whether and the extent to which these social assistance policies can meet the needs of financially disadvantaged people and how these policies can be improved by interviewing government officials (including social assistance and employment service staffs), social group workers that provide services to support financially disadvantaged people and those who are financially disadvantaged. The findings of this study can provide the experiences of implementing social assistance policies in Taiwan and help to understand the advantages and disadvantages of some social assistance measures and their influences on financially disadvantaged people.
