Taipei Expands Long-Term Care Workforce as Population Ages
Posted on 2026-07-28 19:59:13
Taipei has used the national Employment Stabilization Fund for nearly eight
straight years to expand its long-term care workforce ...

... as the capital copes with Taiwan's highest proportion of senior citizens.

According to Ministry of the Interior statistics, people aged 65 and older
accounted for more than 24 percent of Taipei's population in 2025 - the
highest share of any city or county in Taiwan.

To meet growing demand, the city has worked with the Ministry of Labor since
2018 to train caregivers based on its projected long-term care staffing
needs.

Officials say at least 77 percent of trainees have found jobs within three
months of completing the program each year...

...with the employment rate reaching 90 percent last year - up 8 percent from
three years earlier.
