Abstract: Abstract Japanese colonization was a huge factor in Taiwan’s development in terms of both economics and social welfare. Modern social work was introduced to Taiwan by the Japanese rather than by the Ch’ing Dynasty, the former rulers of Taiwan, and under the Japanese government, the state mentioned welfare money as part of the regular governmental budget for the first time. We will expound welfare development in colonial Taiwan from five perspectives: origins, structure and administration of the state welfare system, state welfare measures, welfare expenditure, and the impact of welfare measures.
