Workers Demand Pension and Insurance Reform in Annual Taiwan Labor Day Rally
Thousands of people marched through Taipei on Labor Day, calling for stronger retirement protections and equal insurance coverage for local and migrant workers. Labor groups urged the government to expand social protections and end unequal treatment based on nationality or job type. Taiwan is home to around 800,000 migrant workers, many employed in caregiving, manufacturing and fishing amid labor shortages linked to the island’s aging population.
