  • The Taiwanese government rejected a petition for a citizenship pathway for migrant workers, exacerbating labor shortages across various sectors.

  • There is a critical demand for workers in key industries like AI and construction, with skilled professionals leaving for more attractive international opportunities.

  • A national labor plan prioritizing immigration and providing a clear citizenship route is deemed essential for addressing current challenges.

  • Strategies from the National Development Council are insufficient, focusing mainly on subsidies for businesses without tackling fundamental issues like wages and working conditions.
