eng	THE RETIREMENT AGE AND AGING IN TAIWAN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TOTAL INSTITUTION THEORY	Asian Century - it is not only the era of political and economic boost of Asian countries, but also a significant social transformation - in demographic, social, cultural and political meaning. Among others, aging is one of the most vivid and most ultimate social changes Asia is facing - especially the East Asia. Every year, in East Asia more people reach the retirement age than the rest of the world altogether. It is truly the most aging society - in the significance, speed and rate. Taiwan is a unique example of how to perceive East Asian aging societies - it has very similar patterns with those Japan had couple of decades ago and therefore the study of the future of Taiwan's aged society can be juxtaposed to the current situation in Japan. Moreover, Taiwan society is in many ways similar to the one in China and therefore the current development in Taiwan can be studied as a future scenario for China - inevitably the most populous aged society in the world. Currently, Taiwan has implemented changes in retirement age, but this will not solve the whole problem. What other challenges does Taiwan face regarding its aging and aged society? And what role the government should take in it? The theory of total institution is applied to this topic to describe the role of state in demographic development of its society.
