In TCSIC's first press conference in January, many members wore surgical masks out of fear of being identified and targeted at work.

"For me, it's understandable that older colleagues who are about to retire want to take a position of resisting the government's reforms," Chou said.

"Other young civil servants wanted a more radical approach: a clear division along generational lines to pursue reform objectives. But our viewpoint is different: a country's pension system is built on generations paying into it to support the next — so when we hear these opinions we have to take them into account and make adjustments accordingly," he said.

"There are deliberate moves by some to frame this as a 'political stocktaking against civil servants' in order to frame this as an ideological issue involving the pan green and pan blues. This has transformed an issue about systemic problems into a war of words."

But flying under the media's radar has been a younger generation of civil servants, who not only want pension reforms to proceed, but also changes to the very definition of public service itself.

Just before the new government took power, Lin Yu-kai (林于凱), a young civil servant who had served for five years, drafted an open letter to then-Premier-designate Lin Chuan.

Politicians in the past balked at diffusing the crisis, aware their policy choices could very well blow up in their face.

One such group has been the Taiwan Civil Service Innovation Coalition (TCSIC, 公事改革力

In January, the Alliance for Monitoring Pension Reforms, made up of retired and working public servants as well as teachers and military veterans, staged a massive rally as social groups and government representatives concluded a pension reform conference seeking to draw consensus on key points, including lowering the income replacement ratio and phasing out the controversial 18 percent preferential savings rate.

TAIPEI 翻譯公司 Taiwan -- No recent social issue has better demonstrated the fracturing potential of Taiwan's economic woes 翻譯公司 its looming demographic crisis and its generational divide than that of pension reform.

Whereas older civil servants and retirees rally easily to the call of resisting cuts to their benefits 翻譯公司 for many young people, the pension issue seems like a distant problem full of obtrusive technical terms and legalese.

The challenge for those advocating reform has been building a consensus among civil servants

A main area of contention has been the pace of which reforms are to take place. For example, Lin fears that the gradual pace proposed by the government may not translate into a sustainable system 翻譯公司 describing it as a temporary solution at best.
