Salaries in Taiwan are projected to increase by 2 to 5% this year, according to the latest Salary Survey from Robert Walters. Job movers, especially in commerce and technology sectors, could see even higher increments, ranging from 10 to 20%. Specifically, in the commerce market, salary increments may range from 12% to 20%, while in the technology sector, the range is anticipated to be 10% to 20%. HR professionals switching jobs can also expect significant increases, with a predicted 15 to 20% rise. However, talent shortages are expected to persist, making it challenging for employers to fill specialized positions despite 65% of employees actively seeking opportunities.

Given the high skill labor shortages in the country, Taiwan is one of the countries with the highest labor shortages in the world.
