Shortages in both labor and materials in the construction industry are causing a crisis in public projects in Taiwan. This shortage is particularly affecting transportation construction projects across the country, with delays in progress seen in various road and metro projects. The construction sector is also struggling with shortages due to aging workforce, declining birth rates, and competition from the tech industry for labor. The situation is leading to delays, canceled bids, and overall project uncertainties, posing long-term risks to the nation's competitiveness if not addressed by the government.
