From the view point of gentrification, the development of Taiwan's society is consistent to post-industrialism: the service and skilled labor sectors are expanding. In accordance to the socialogical theory that the change in quantity results in the change in quality, this study focuses Lareau's three criteria: time use, language use, and institution contact, and Coleman's intergenerational closure being the fourth criterion. These four criteria will be used to examen whether the cultural differences within each socio-economic class result in dissimilarities in the upgringing strategy of children. Additionally, the emphasis will be placed on whether skilled-labor class—under the condition that their educational level and incom level are lower than white collar class—has simillar childrearing stragies as the white-collar class. According to the finding of this research, while Concerted Cultivation is prevalent in the white-collar class, Accomplishment of Natural Growth tend to be the strategy for the skilled-labor class families. This research divides the labor class into two categories: skilled-labor class and non-skilled-labor class; using household income and education as controls, it because clear that the skilled-labor-class families are strategically similar to white-collar-class families in childrearing strategies. Consequently, besides household income and educational level, strategic difference in childrearing as a result of the parents' cultural differences in their respective professions is an important factor as well. In the area of language use, the only variable is educational level. In other words, regardless of socio-economic class, the majority of parents in Taiwan do not resolve parent-child conflicts with mutual reasoning. As the level of education increases, the propensity to utilize mutual reasoning to resolve parent-child conflicts increases proportionally.
