Project Description: Foreign Maids in Taiwan

Taiwan has tens of thousands of foreign maids providing childcare, looking after the sick and the elderly. They are part of the community members and partners getting along with the local people. Through our study, we try to understand their interaction with the land and people and their experience living in this foreign land.

“Foreign maids in Taiwan” research project enabled students to see and experience personally the actual life situation in Taiwan of those maids from various foreign countries. Through personal contact, they understood how perseverance and hard-working those foreign maids were. They came from poor families in other countries and relocated to Taiwan to earn money to improve their own families back home.

Students also learned from the perspective of global village; foreign maids’ hard-working spirit enlightened the society, also reminded the Taiwan’s next generation of full employment. Otherwise, Taiwanese could be part of the “foreign maids” in the coming years. Thus the project study provided the students opportunity to learn international economic topic in an actual experiment.

We will introduce some stories about Foreign Maids. We also discover inside of their mind.

We interview Mayor Ma of Taipei City, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Affairs,Taipei.

Not only introduce Foreign Maids in Taiwan , we also take many actions to express our respect and protection of Foreign Maids.
