Abstract: Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a country in East Asia. Gender equality in Taiwan is relatively progressive, with women’s rights guaranteed in the workforce by the Act of Gender Equality in Employment. While Taiwan's labor laws offer a baseline of protections for family caregivers, these policies are still ultimately inadequate resulting in a score of 6.14 out of 10 in Sub-Index A of the Global Care Policy Index. Taiwan's overall score for the GCPI (5.57 out of 10) was also pulled down by its lack of protection for domestic workers in Sub-Index B. As domestic workers are considered to be privately employed, they are thus excluded from coverage by the Labor Standards Act – Taiwan’s primary labor law. Taiwan received a 4.99 out of 10 for Sub-Index B of the GCPI which measures protections for domestic workers.
