"The era tests young people, young people make the era." This was a slogan often used in wartime China to encourage young people. Perhaps it is a bit exaggerated to use it to describe the current employment situation, but young people today certainly face unprecedented transformations in the labor market. This is a result of changes in the overall global capitalist system and of the transformation of Taiwan's particular industrial structure.
「時代考驗青年，青年創造時代」，以這句當年戰亂時期鼓勵年輕人的話來形容現在的職場處境，或許有點誇大，但是今天台灣年輕人所面臨的職場變化確實也是前所未有的，那是整個世界資本主義體系與台灣特有產業轉型所交織出的時代變革。
