Abstract

Although Taiwan is a small, densely populated area that lacks natural resources, its economy has made great progress during the past few decades. Due to economic demand, Taiwanese women workers have played important roles in Taiwan’s development and growth. Taiwan is rapidly developing within the Asian region in which traditional cultural expectations and modern values coexist; in this context, women in leadership and management positions still face challenges. This chapter includes: (a) the historical, political, economic, and cultural context of Taiwan; (b) the influence of traditional and contemporary values; (c) career development of Taiwanese women; (d) the status of Taiwanese women in political leadership; (e) the status of Taiwanese women in management; (f) the status of Taiwanese women in entrepreneurships; (g) challenges concerning Taiwanese women’s career aspirations; and (i) discussion, including recommendations for practice and future research and conclusions.
