Some activists claim that we Taiwanese people can no longer ignore the very poor labor conditions of some migrant workers in Taiwan. Please write an English essay in about 250 words in which you are required to identify the problems that the migrant workers might have encountered and to provide possible measures to deal with the problems. Please illustrate your points with concrete examples.
In response to population ageing and declining birthrate giving rise to decreasing domestic
labour
force, the government has increasingly employed migrant workers
to solve the imminent crisis of labour
shortage. However
, migrant workers
face numerous challenges in Taiwan
. The essay, in the following paragraphs, will discuss the poor labour
conditions
they have encountered and the useful methods regarding how to solve their difficulties.
The labour
conditions
, currently, are partially detrimental to migrant workers
who decide to work in Taiwan
. For example
, one of the first
problems of the labour
conditions
is unjustifiable treatments like sexual harassment and assault by employers using their language barriers and traditional controversy. Another problem that needs to be considered is their personal documents would be deliberately confiscated by masters forcing them to do the unnecessary. In addition
, the excessive hours of work with low wages have negative impacts on their health. Hence
, we are supposed to proactively focus on the issues of migrant workers
' labour
conditions
instead
of being indifferent. In other words
, striving to improve their working conditions
not only brings benefits to them but also
marks Taiwan
as a model of progressing human rights on the international stage.
Therefore
, it is time for us to think about how to address the knotty migrant workers
are confronted with within the workplace. For instance
, a possible solution to this
problem would be a sound policy the government should regulate to avert employers from abridging foreign employees' rights, or the masters may incur a hefty penalty. Additionally
, publicly providing lawful education and disseminating the awareness of laws for hirers may lessen the frequency of discrimination against migrant workers
. Last
but not the least, our employment agencies should build up a healthy working environment, such
as reasonable working hours and salaries meeting the requirements of minimum wages. If we highly attach importance to the migrant workers
' labour
conditions
, they, perhaps, are more willing to dedicate themselves to Taiwan
, which further
sorts out the labour
shortage and boosts the domestic economy in the long term.
To sum up, the labour
conditions
in Taiwan
are glutted with lots of problems so we have no choice but to value the migrant workers
' position and human rights. Thus
, all we have to do is utilize the measures above to overhaul the defective labour
requirements to attract more migrant workers
and show the determination of Taiwan
's international collaboration all over the world.Submitted by a59618690 on
