Description
A New Development in Taiwan : Full Employment and Immigration.
Because of the effects of dramatic changes in the economy combined with a demographic transition about to achieve, in Taiwan, the job market has began relevant changes, the effects of which, still widely unknown, start however to arouse problems in every fields.
Full employment together with one of the World's lowest unemployment rates have confronted the Taiwanese economy with one of the worst lacks in available manpower, causing rocketing costs which threaten to slow down further expansion. Despite an apparent overpopulation of the island, the government is compelled to commit himself reluctantly in a strictly and controversial programme of selective resort to migrant workers.
The economic pressure, however, is such important that illegal immigration - principally from the Chinese mainland - is booming, much to the government's annoyance.

Sous l'effet conjugué d'une transformation spectaculaire de l'économie et d'une transition démographique en voie d'achèvement, le marché de l'emploi a amorcé à Taiwan une mutation dont les effets encore largement méconnus commencent pourtant à soulever des problèmes dans tous les domaines. Le plein emploi allant de pair avec l'un des taux de chômage parmi les plus faibles du monde, l'économie taiwanaise doit aujourd'hui faire face à une grave pénurie de main-d'oeuvre, ce qui entraîne une hausse importante des rémunérations et gêne la poursuite de la croissance. En dépit d'un apparent surpeuplement de l'île, le gouvernement se voit contraint à s'engager à contrecoeur dans un programme strictement contrôlé et controversé de recours sélectif à des travailleurs étrangers. La pression économique est cependant telle que se développe également une immigration illégale, en particulier de Chinois du continent, au grand dam des autorités.
