3. Politics

In fact, Taiwan is not a lack of labor force, but since 2000, the island's unemployment rate has been high, the authorities still introduce so many laborers from other countries. One of the reasons lies behind is because the politics. Higher labor costs on the island; employ a local laborer’s money can hire two foreign laborers, but local laborers do not do the hard, tired works. More importantly, Taiwan authorities have seen foreign laborers as an important bargaining chip of” diplomacy development”. The ex-president also made use of foreign laborers to seek political benefits, even one after another to stop the introduction of the Philippines and Indonesia labors as a threat to the two governments. For political and diplomacy concerned, the government’s position of oppose lead in foreign laborers change into establish a law to regulate them. In the open laborer policy considerations, we can see the legislators asked the Government to implement the introduction of labor. This shows that we can see the involvement of political forces where the foreign laborers are.
