Clandestine labor migration to Taiwan
Asian and Pacific Migration Journal : APMJ
|January 1, 1992
Summary
Illegal migration to Taiwan is increasing rapidly, primarily from Southeast Asia. Labor shortages and changing worker attitudes are prompting the Taiwanese government to consider importing foreign labor systematically.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Economics
- Migration Studies
Background:
- Illegal migration to Taiwan is a growing concern.
- Many foreign workers overstay visitor visas.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the sources and characteristics of illegal foreign workers in Taiwan.
- To understand the factors driving the need for foreign labor.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of official data on illegal migration.
- Examination of sociodemographic and attitudinal shifts in the Taiwanese workforce.
Main Results:
- Major source countries include Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand.
- The illegal foreign worker population is estimated at 40,000, predominantly male.
- Labor shortages in low-skilled sectors are evident.
Conclusions:
- Societal changes and labor demands necessitate a structured approach to foreign labor importation.
- Taiwan faces pressure to develop policies for managing and potentially legalizing foreign workers.

01:09Cell Migration
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
01:19Cell Migration
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.
