一、背景說明 Background

在全球化的知識經濟時代，量足質精的人才是國家競爭力核心，然我國面臨高齡化、少子女化以及工作年齡人口逐年下降之人口結構轉變，加以國際人才競逐激烈、我國吸引外國移民誘因不足等，造成人才外流及人才短缺問題日趨嚴重，為延攬及吸引外國專業人才來臺從事專業工作及生活，填補國內人才及技術缺口，以促進經濟朝高科技、高附加價值方向轉型，爰擬具「外國專業人才延攬及僱用法」草案。

In this era of the globalized knowledge economy, having an adequate pool of high-quality human resources is at the core of a country's competitiveness. However, Taiwan is currently facing an external environment in which countries are competing intensely to attract international talent, while itself falling short in incentives to attract foreign professionals. As a result, its outflow and shortages of talent are growing more serious by the day.

Accordingly, this draft Act has been drawn up to help recruit and attract foreign professionals to come to engage in professional work and live in Taiwan, as a means of promoting the transformation of Taiwan's economy toward high-tech and high value-added orientation.
