Due to the impact of globalization, enterprises have undertaken all possible cuts to survive. Fresh-outs have encountered obstacles entering job markets. Unemployment rate has reached its record high. The solution could be ¡§Invest & Emigrate Abroad¡¨ to create job opportunities for Taiwan people. This study ¡§The Impact of Foreign Investment and Emigration on the Unemployment¡¨ is to find ways for people from Taiwan to be employed abroad. With the assistance of Government, this would be a win-win solution for employers and work force in Taiwan. The purpose of this study is outlined below:
1. Providing solutions to lessen the impact of globalization which are causing closure
and relocations of businesses.
2. Providing solutions to prevent mid-aged work force losing their jobs.
3. Encouraging educated workers to emigrate, this could in turn promote the image of
Taiwan.
4. Assisting businesses to find opportunities abroad.
5. Emigrating to other countries can reduce unemployment rate and improve quality
life in Taiwan.
The research procedures and their flow are designed based on the objectives of this study. The sources of literature and the definitions of the issues are considered in designing the procedure. The research constructions then are planned according to the chosen research method. There are two research issues: A and B. Issue A: Would the perception of the factors which cause the closure of businesses and workers to lose jobs vary due to personal characteristics. Issue B: Would the perception of the important issues which cause businesses to close and workers to lose jobs vary due to personal characteristics.¡C
