What are Subsidies?
An introductory guide designed for foreign residents in Taiwan
1What are Taiwan's subsidies?
Subsidies are financial support programs provided by the Taiwan government to reduce the burden of living expenses and enhance social welfare. These benefits are funded by various government agencies (such as the MOHW, MOL, and MOI) and are distributed directly to eligible applicants to help cover costs for childcare, housing, healthcare, and employment.
2Why does the government provide subsidies?
The Taiwan government provides subsidies with several core objectives in mind:
Social Welfare Security
To ensure that everyone, regardless of their economic situation, can enjoy basic healthcare, housing, and quality of life.
Addressing Population Challenges
To reduce the financial burden on young families through birth and childcare subsidies, encouraging child-rearing and supporting elder care.
Promoting Economic Stability
To provide a buffer during economic fluctuations, such as unemployment or rising rents, preventing families from falling into hardship.
Attracting and Retaining Foreign Talent
For foreign friends contributing labor and expertise in Taiwan, the government provides resources and protection to ensure you can live and develop here with peace of mind.
