This chapter explores the experience of Taiwan after the extension of compulsory education from six to nine years in 1968 in order to gain insight into education/labour market linkages. Throughout the research the main concern was to what extent labour market position at entry can be predicted by level and type of education, and how much current employment is conditioned by educational attainment. The policies and practices governing the Taiwanese transition from school to work are outlined and the main issues and hypotheses are described and finally, the results are reported and discussed.
