In commemoration of International Domestic Workers' Day, the Taiwan International Workers' Alliance and several caregivers protested outside the Ministry of Health and Welfare, urging Minister Shih-Chung Chen to include foreign family caregivers in the long-term care system. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has responded by planning to allow intermediate technical personnel with language proficiency and care abilities to work as caregivers in communities and homes. Statistics show that there is a high demand for long-term care workers in Taiwan, with family caregivers being the most crucial workforce. The protest highlights the challenges and risks faced by these workers, advocating for better rights and protection within the long-term care system.
