Taiwan plans to introduce 100,000 Indian workers by year-end

TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Minister of Health and Welfare (MOHW) announced on Sunday (Nov. 12) its support for Taiwan's plan to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with India by the end of this year. The MOU aims to bring approximately 100,000 Indian migrant workers to Taiwan.

"Introducing more caregivers is a positive step," said Health Minister Hsueh Jui-yuan.

The upcoming agreement with India is expected to employ migrant workers mainly in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and both institutional and domestic care.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Labor has indicated that the signing of the contract might be delayed until December. Furthermore, due to ongoing discussions about the contract and procedural details, the actual employment of the new migrant workers will not commence immediately after the MOU is signed.

Currently, Taiwan hosts about 748,000 foreign migrant workers. The majority are from Indonesia, totaling 267,000, predominantly in caregiving roles. They are followed by Vietnamese workers, numbering 260,000, and Filipino workers, who number 150,000, primarily employed in the manufacturing industry.

This new agreement with India positions it to become the fourth-largest source of migrant workers for Taiwan.
