Chapter Chapter 1 in International Labor Mobility to and from Taiwan, 2017, pp 1-2 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The society of Taiwan has been formed by various kinds of migrants, and presently, in Taiwan, there are a huge number of various kinds of foreign workers. These are divided into two types. The first is unskilled foreign labor, which now has a large presence, sharing about 5% of all the labor force in Taiwan. The second is foreign-skilled human resources. The “brain circulation” that occurred when workers returning to their home country brought back the technology and business style of a developed country also contributed to Taiwan greatly in the 1980s and 1990s. This phenomenon can no longer be expected to occur, and thus the Taiwanese government and companies are now trying to seek for skilled human resources from developed countries in other ways. Recently, Taiwanese workers are moving to other countries, including China. This book examines the current status of the entire aspect of international mobility to and from Taiwan in the twenty-first century, including related governmental policies.
