Of which, Taiwan (China) received the highest number with more than 14,600 workers, followed by Japan and Singapore.

The figure in the previous 2 months reached 26% of the annual plan of the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs. In addition to traditional markets, the number of labourers sent to European countries for stable jobs and high incomes is gradually increasing.

The overseas labor market has recovered strongly, with the number of workers heading abroad reaching nearly the same level as before Covid-19.

More than 142,000 workers went abroad last year, 58.64 per cent higher than the annual target. The target for this year is 110,000 workers going abroad.
