[Jiangsu News Network Comprehensive News] In recent years, the problems of talent outflow and talent gap in Taiwan have become increasingly prominent. The opportunities, salary, market, development space, etc. in the mainland are very attractive to Taiwanese youth. The latest survey on the "post-80s" on the island shows that as many as 56% of people want to leave Taiwan to work, and 33% of young people believe that the mainland is the first choice.
The "Taiwan Strait" under the Central Radio and Television reported on the 26th that Taiwanese talents have been continuously traveling to mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore and other places. Statistics show that 20,000 to 30,000 people flow out of Taiwan every year. Taking semiconductor talents as an example, Taiwan's current gap is 34,000, setting a new high in seven years.
Taipei Zhongshi News Network reported in mid-February that according to statistics from Taiwan’s 104 Human Resources Bank Database, there is a global chip shortage, and the “supply ratio” of the semiconductor industry is higher than the overall talent recruitment market. Job seekers who want to enter the semiconductor industry can get an average of 3.7 jobs, which is the highest in three years, and it is more than twice the “supply ratio” of 1.7 shares of the overall talent recruitment market.
Even a semiconductor supervisor said that in the past, it was too difficult to find new people now. Now even graduates from the Horticulture Department of the Agricultural College can accept invitations to interview.

Nankai University Professor Zhu Lei believes that Taiwan's current economic growth is slow and will naturally lose its attractiveness to talents. The mainland's economy grows rapidly and has many opportunities, which will produce a magnetic effect of attracting talents. Media on the island analyzed that the important factor in the talent gap in Taiwan is that the DPP authorities set up many checkpoints for mainland talents to come to Taiwan, such as not allowing mainland students to work or find employment, which restricts the inflow of mainland talents, resulting in a net outflow of Taiwan in cross-strait talent exchanges and cooperation. This situation is difficult to change.
Some scholars on the island pointed out that to solve the problem of "talent shortage" in Taiwan, the key is to eliminate the blockade mentality. Introducing talents is actually the same as retaining talents. Expanding the recruitment of terrestrial students and opening up employment will help improve the competitive environment for talents on the island and enhance the competitiveness of talents.
How to improve the talent competition environment on the island and attract more talents outside the island? Zhu Lei believes that the mainland is Taiwan’s largest trading partner and investment partner, with a similar language and culture, and the quality of mainland talents is also very good. But unfortunately, the Taiwanese authorities artificially obstructed mainland talents from studying and finding jobs in Taiwan out of the concept of "Taiwan independence" and political calculations. At present, the mainland has been continuously increasing efforts to attract talents, and has given priority to the treatment and policy thresholds for Taiwanese talents to the mainland. The prosperity and development of the mainland economy has also created a large number of job opportunities, which has a great attraction to Taiwan's middle and senior talents. On the other hand, Taiwan has set a lot of restrictions on mainland talents entering the island, and does not allow mainland students to work, and does not allow mainland talents to find employment on the island, which will lead to one-way flow.
Zhu Lei believes that if Taiwan can expand the recruitment of mainland students and give fair treatment, and open up paid work for mainland students, such as serving as research assistants, participating in certificate examinations, receiving scholarships, and being able to find employment locally after graduation, it will help improve the competition environment for talents on the island, enhance talent competitiveness, and also help improve the talent deficit caused by the loss of talents in Taiwan.
