Abstract

Employment of migrant care workers (MCWs) is increasing, globalising, and is feminised, but the style, nature and extent of MCW policy in Taiwan is very different. This study explores the specific path for MCW policies amidst the globalisation of MCWs and analyses the intersection of the care, migration and employment regimes and compares these to South Korea’s and Japan’s migrant worker policies. This gives a deeper understanding of the formation and transition for Taiwan’s MCW policy. The similarities and uniqueness of Taiwan MCW policy are discussed in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
