Although not yet passed, this proposed NEI Act is significant for it is the first time for a policy in Taiwan to allow mid-level skilled workers, including a portion of upgraded guest workers, along with their families, to settle by applying for permanent residence. While the NEI Act does indicate an important effort to move Taiwan towards incorporating migrant workers into permanent population, the success of this policy still depends on public discourse and reactions from stakeholder groups (trade unions, employers, general public included). This research utilizing the discursive institutionalism perspectives to analyze the ideals of policy makers and the ways in which they communicate with the public and stakeholders. The findings will be compared with the policy making of new migrant workers policy in South Korea, where new policies have been formulated to make migrant workers even more temporary, by introducing the seasonal migrant workers.移工政策移民政策新經濟移民法台灣南韓migrant worker policyimmigration policynew economic immigration actTaiwanSouth Korea
