Abstract
This paper examines the policies and regulations for employing and
managing foreign domestic care workers, the illegal means for hiring and abuse
of foreign care workers, and the belief that hiring foreigners for long-term
domestic care is the only option. This purpose of this study is to demonstrate
how the victimless crime concept applies to this sector of long-term care in
Taiwan. Society generally disregards the policies set for this industry and views
the employment of foreign care workers as a victimless crime, when in actuality
both the employers themselves and the foreign employees are harmed in the
process. Another problem stemming from this false view is the lack of
enforcement of the laws that regulate the hiring, management and treatment of
foreign care workers. Important to understanding the situation involves looking
at how the employment of foreign domestic care workers increased. In the past,
the general attitude of Taiwanese families was in favor of family members being
responsible for long-term care. In addition, the idea of hiring a foreigner for
providing domestic care was unacceptable to most. However, due to the
unavailability and inaccessibility of home care services, the fear of using
institutional care services, and the effect that social learning has had on making
known the benefits of hiring foreign care workers, what was the stigma of
stranger care has now become a privilege. Addressing this problem involves
shortening the gap between policy design and implementation. This includes
removing the boundary that exists between Taiwanese- and foreignerprovided domestic long-term care by incorporating the supervision of foreign
care workers into the quality control mechanism present in the long-term care
system, which currently oversees only Taiwanese care workers. Other
components include increasing awareness and promoting recognition of what
constitutes abuse and illegal treatment of domestic care workers, as well as
making better known publicly the variety of home care services available.
Employing this framework benefits the care recipient by providing higherquality care, while guaranteeing better working conditions for and humane
treatment of foreign domestic care workers.
