Abstract
In the rapidly changing information age, the gap between urban and rural development, the gap in information transmission, and the difficulty in obtaining resources have made Taiwan move towards an M-type society, making single-parent families, low-income households, elderly people living alone, and marginal households in this society more vulnerable. Making ends meet is getting harder and harder for more and more people. This chapter explores how these issues are being address through seven case studies. The different approaches to applying the sharing economy model in each case provide transferrable lessons on how similar issues can be resolved in other countries.
