All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The Taiwanese social security system ensures that it meets all the social requirements of the country’s employees that are engaged in trade and commerce or are employees of private and public sector companies. Persons working in mines and plantations, fishermen, and some self-employed persons are also protected through social security. Under the labor insurance program, self-employed people who are not covered through an occupational union, and people who are involuntarily unemployed with a minimum of 15 years’ coverage may take voluntary insurance. Social insurance includes national pension insurance and universal health insurance, which is supervised by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Taiwanese government makes sure that the Taiwan Labor Standard Law (TLSL) and Labor Pension Act (LPA) protect the rights of citizens. The pension policy, which was implemented in 2008, has led to wider coverage of the population and increased efficiency.

Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits ensure that employees receive an assured level of financial protection after their retirement. Taiwan’s social insurance scheme provides a pension to insured persons. The country’s social security system has three programs under which retirement benefits are provided to people based on their categories. The programs are the labor insurance program, the labor pension fund, and the national pension program.
Death in Service Benefits
The death in service scheme ensures that a deceased employee’s surviving dependents receive an assured level of financial protection. It is categorized under the social insurance scheme. Death benefits are paid in the form of survivor pension, survivor allowance, and funeral grants under the labor insurance program, while survivor benefit is paid under the national pension.
Long-Term Disability Benefits
Long-term disability benefit is a compulsory social insurance scheme that is provided in various forms, such as disability pension, partial disability pension, disability grant, and constant-attendance supplement. In Taiwan, a private company with more than 67 employees must hire at least one disabled employee, while a large company must hire a disabled employee. Disability pension is covered under two main programs which are the labor insurance program and the national pension program.
Key Private Benefits in the Taiwan Employee Benefits Market
The key private benefits offered by the employers of Taiwan are retirement benefits, medical benefits, death benefits, disability benefits, and accidental death and dismemberment benefits.
Retirement Benefits
In Taiwan, employers provide supplementary retirement benefits to their employees through group annuity insurance plans. The overall index value of the Taiwanese pension system can be increased by increasing the minimum support level for means-tested individuals and by ensuring the members that the private pension plan benefits are preserved until the standard retirement age. Increasing the participation of older individuals in the labor force is one of the factors to improve the pension system as life expectancy rises.
Medical Benefits
In Taiwan, most employers provide supplementary medical benefits to employees by subscribing to group health insurance plans. A few employers offer group critical illness insurance plans that cover serious illness, along with death and disability benefits.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment Benefits
In Taiwan, employers provide accidental death and dismemberment benefits to their employees through group accident insurance plans.
