Taiwan Labour Ministry said they will look for Indian workers with good proficiency in English on a small scale. However, if the initiative is successful Taiwan government will increase the number of openings gradually.
Two countries are planning for meetings regarding this as soon as possible with discussions about employment industries, jobs, qualifications, skills, regions of source in Taiwan along recruitment methods. The MoU states that employment industries and job openings will be decided by the Taiwan government itself however Indian government will provide training for employment opportunities in Taiwan along with regulations.
Both countries completed the procedures of mobility and migration last year and a few medical tests and alignment of the migration database between the countries is yet to be done. After all the procedures are completed, Taiwan will announce India as their source country of migrant workers about terms and conditions.
Why the Labour Shortage Happened in Taiwan:
Taiwan stated the demand for workers is caused by to ageing of the population along with the low birth rate in their country. Due to this the working population declined to very small numbers in several sectors. so, as the demand rises, Taiwan country is looking for migrant workers in the most trustworthy countries.
Taiwan government has already provided work permits to migrant workers from countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. Taiwan’s government has recognized Indian workers as hard and stable workers with good reviews as other countries are providing employment opportunities for Indian workers. Countries such as Germany, Italy, France, Singapore and Malaysia have been looking for Indian workers in several industries to work.
Both countries will be looking after the implementation of the MoU as soon as possible since Taiwan is facing a huge decline in workers. Taiwan migrant workers till now have been working in Semiconductor production plants with 7 lakh migrants in the country already.
It is unknown in which sectors Indian workers will be working but few reports claim Indians might be working in Manufacturing Industry or as home helpers. Taiwan has been struggling to fulfil the demand for workers in its country for the last 3-4 years and now it is looking after migrant workers from India.
