Taiwan wants Indian workers to move in and ease a worsening job crunch
Taiwan, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was inked on Friday, opening doors for Indian migrant workers to explore job opportunities in Taiwan.
«Taiwan-India relations reach a new high! The MOU on the Facilitation of Employment of Indian Workers, signed by @TWIndia2 Rep. Ger & @ita_taipei Rep Yadav,» the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan (@MOFA_Taiwan) announced the milestone in a post on social media platform X. The MoU is seen as a step towards mutual benefits, igniting a robust momentum for deeper cooperation between the two nations.
This collaborative effort comes at a critical juncture when Taipei, facing labor shortages, is diversifying its foreign workforce beyond the conventional Southeast Asian sources. Taiwan, renowned for its semiconductor production and grappling with an aging population, currently relies on over 700,000 migrant workers primarily from Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. These workers are primarily engaged in manufacturing and serve as home assistants for the elderly, according to Reuters.
