They are in the Stats, the not participating in the labour force stats of the whole population .
If the stat was very high or low against other countries , or against the official unempliyment rate, you can start to draw some limited conclusions too.
You would still want to look at age profiles, number of students, new entrants to workforce, all that stuff.
You donāt need it, but it helps a lot.
And in some cases you do actually need it or they wonāt hire you, they will hire the person with the overseas degree. In many cases actually. Itās very competitive.
Thatās being unemployed for a huge part (except kids, elderly ā¦), it just doesnāt show.
I do the same ā¦ McDonaldās takes credit card now and Iāll use it for anything, ice cream, a drink. No fumbling for change. It is a little embarrassing when I charge a $10 item though lol
But yea they consider that debt even if itās paid off.
I noticed the 20 somethings are.totally uninterested in credit cards, most only have a debit card. Not like the generation before it
Or Line Pay ā¦ and others.
So people like their cards to an app and pay that way.
I think they didnāt offer to many foreigners e.g. apple pay and Samsung pay.
"More than 50 percent of Taiwanese in their 30s are either underemployed or heavily in debt, a survey released by 1111 Job Bank on July 12 showed.
The poll found that the average monthly starting salary for people in their thirties was NT$25,930, but 41.76 percent of their salaries was used to pay off debt, and a higher percentage in high-cost areas such as Taipei. Average salaries in Taipei are lower than those in many major Asian cities, even though Taipeiās cost of living is not much lower.
In Tokyo, the average monthly rent for a modest one-bedroom apartment within a short distance of downtown is ļæ„112,307.69 (NT$30,918), compared with NT$18,982.46 in downtown Taipei. Monthly utilities in Tokyo for an 85m2 apartment are ļæ„21,646.22 (NT$5,959), compared with NT$2,639.16 in Taipei. However, while rent in Tokyo is 1.7 times as high as in Taipei and utility costs are 2.27 times higher, the average starting (post-tax) salary in Tokyo is ļæ„332,402.33 (NT$91,509), 3.5 times as high as in Taipei."
And why hasnāt this thread been locked? So every single troll topic can live forever as long as itās one of those #taiwanisgarbage circlejerking shitpost?
I think the real point here is that Taipei Times is (at least in this editorial) garbage.
Guy
It be what it be.
I donāt see how this thread is any more of a troll thread than many other threads on this website, especially over on the politics forums.
I think you should write a letter to TT letters page.
Dear TT
You have been steadily going downhill like everything else on this island for the last 20 years.
Please keep up the atrocious work.
Yours Depressingly
