Taiwan-EU Meeting Focuses on Labor Shortage and Migrant Caregivers
Posted on 2023-07-04 06:52:14
Labor Minister Hsu Ming-chun says the fifth Taiwan-European Union Labor Consultation focused on Taiwan's approach to its labor shortage and its employment of migrant caregivers.
The talks took place in Brussels.
Hsu says the talks differed from previous years, when Taiwan's representatives were more interested in learning about labor protection from their European counterparts.
Hsu says E-U representatives this year were interested in Taiwan's policy of pushing for the employment of older workers to address its labor shortage, and in Taiwan's importation of migrant caregivers to meet the growing demand for long-term care of the elderly.
The E-U delegation was led by Joost Korte, the head of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion.
The Ministry of Labor says private European groups were also invited to the consultation for the first time.
The Taiwan-EU Labor Consultation was launched in 2018.
