How does Strawberry Generation in Taiwan Get Rid of the Label?
The Seventh graders in Taiwan have been regarded as The Strawberry Generation due to their poor working performance. The Strawberry Generation means people in this generation are just like strawberries. They look good, but they are too fragile to deal with problems and difficulties. In Taiwan, we called people born in 1981 to 1990 “seventh grader”, which will be defined as Generation X and Y in American. With the huge changes of economy, politics, society, family structures, and computers, youths born in this period share very different growing-up experiences with other generations. As Taiwan society gets richer and opener and the family has fewer children in that period, seventh graders have more opportunities to accept higher education, have better consuming experiences, getting more information via computers. They are thought and expected to make a better influence at work. However, as economical development and industrial structures of Taiwan go into new stages and globalization and knowledge-based economy affect Taiwan, job markets demands the new generation with different employability. The enterprises pay much more attention on a graduate’s working attitude in addition to good educational background, but seventh graders believe better educational background and certificate will help to get and keep a good job. The different cognitions between employers of old generations and seventh graders not only reflect their work values that are caused from the different growing-up experiences, but also the gap between school education and job requirements. However, in order to remove the label “Strawberry Generation”, the seventh graders should improve the employ-abilities required for the knowledge-based economy stage; respect different work values, and combine each generation’s advantages. In this way, seven graders can work with different generations efficient and have better working performance. Besides, via government’s help and policy, schools should cooperate with enterprises to adjust the courses to help students cultivate employ-abilities and ready for job after finishing tertiary education.
