title: Clandestine labor migration to Taiwan.
abstract: "Illegal migration to Taiwan is a recent phenomenon but with a rapid rate of increase.  Most illegal foreign workers enter on visitor's visas and overstay.  This paper's detailed analysis of official data reveals that Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand are the major sources, providing a stock of mostly male workers numbering around 40,000.  Sociodemographic and attitudinal changes among Taiwanese workers coupled with labor shortages in low-skilled jobs are pressuring the Taiwanese government to formulate plans for a systematic importation of foreign labor."
