[Reporter Li Lianghui/Taipei Report] According to statistics, the number of migrant workers who have lost contact in China has reached 83,000. A few days ago, there was a demand for "amnesty" to solve the problem of missing contacts.

The Ministry of Labor stated that to solve the problem of missing migrant workers, we should think about how to protect the common interests of legitimate employers and society. The reasons for migrant workers losing contact are complicated, but they are mainly for "money". If migrant workers lose contact, there is no need to pay a price. Loss of contact will lead to aggravated loss of contact.

In response to the increasingly serious problem of lost contact among immigrant workers in China, the Ministry of Labor pointed out that it has cross-ministerial committees to promote improvement measures, including strengthening source management, relaxing construction and agricultural immigration policies, loosening conditions for semiconductor foreign talents to come to Taiwan, and strengthening the investigation and punishment of human agency overpayment Fees, encouraging lost migrant workers to come to the case on their own, and planning to amend the law to punish illegal media are multi-faceted.

The Development Agency pointed out that the reasons for the loss of contact among migrant workers are complex. The main reason for the analysis is "money". The migrant workers hope to switch to jobs with better wages. The second is the serious shortage of workers in the construction industry and agriculture. The number of imported migrant workers is insufficient, resulting in illegal activities. Employment needs, in addition, illegal intermediaries to lure migrant workers into losing contact and illegal overcharging fees are all reasons for migrant workers to lose contact.

The Development Agency pointed out that the situation previously affected by the epidemic has now returned to normal. In order to further solve the problem of lack of work and reduce the demand for illegal employment by employers, the Ministry of Labor, after cross-ministerial discussions, agreed to relax the restrictions on construction companies up to a certain scale. The total number of places is 8,000 to 15,000, and 30% of the number of employed employees will be imported as migrant workers.

In the agricultural sector, flowers, seedlings, fruit trees, and miscellaneous grains will be opened again, and the number of agricultural labor insurance will be allocated to migrant workers on a 1:1 basis. The total quota will be raised from 6,000 to 12,000 to alleviate the manpower gap in the construction industry and agriculture. .

On the other hand, we have also reviewed and adjusted foreign talent recruitment policies with the National Development Council and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Semiconductor manufacturing companies have relaxed the need to employ foreign semiconductor engineers, exempt foreign talents from working experience for 2 years, and expand international talent recruitment.

And cooperated with the Ministry of Transportation to launch the "Tourism and Peripheral Industry Job Absence Project Assistance Plan". The Tourism Bureau will collect job vacancies in the tourist hotel industry and provide the Ministry of Labor to handle project matching. Starting from April 1, a one-year plan will be promoted. Subsidize the industry to increase wages, make good use of employment promotion tools, and use domestic manpower.

In order to strengthen source management, the Ministry of Labor has planned a suspension mechanism for foreign intermediaries whose whereabouts are too high. This year, it will strengthen the investigation and punishment of human intermediaries overcharging. A fine of 500,000 yuan will be raised to a fine of 300,000 yuan to 1.5 million yuan per person depending on the illegal medium. Those who violate it again within 5 years will be raised to fixed-term imprisonment of less than 5 years, criminal detention, or a fine of less than 2.4 million yuan.
