This study examines the interplay between class and gender relations in the parallel contexts of the international division of labor and of Taiwan's economic development. It studies the employment experiences and family lives of married women in Taiwan's small-scale, family-centered, and export-oriented satellite factories. I ask how and to what extent gender inequality is transformed and perpetuated in a society which has undergone a transformation from an agricultural economy to an expert-led economy. In contrast to the existing literature on women and on Taiwan's economic development which focuses either on young single women in large factories or males in small factories, I analyze the way in which married women's labor is appropriated by the satellite factory system. I have employed the state's recent policies on married women and industrial relations as a framework in my analysis. I use historical documents, statistical data, and ethnographic data to study the dynamics of the labor process, workers' resistance, women's marriages, their families, and their productive and reproductive labor in Taiwan's satellite factory system. I have found that although the satellite factory system may have served as a buffer against the class inequality, it nonetheless has perpetuated gender inequality. The workforce in the factories is not homogeneous. The construction of paternalism on the shopfloor indicates the presence of a constant struggle between the owners and wages workers in the factories. At the same time, the state's developmental programs have converted housewives into homemakers, while its policies on industrial relations have left oppressive labor practices unchallenged. Workers' resistance in the satellite factories has been informal, individualized, and clandestine. Wrangling, gossiping, and expressing one's anger are tactics employed by the workers to survive within the oppressive labor regime. However, these tactics are unlikely to alter the basic structure of the system.Subjects--Topical Terms:
