In response to the potential impact of U.S. tariffs on Taiwan's industries and job market, the Executive Yuan officially approved the "Supply Chain Support Plan for Taiwanese Exports in Response to U.S. Tariffs" on the 21st. The Ministry of Labor announced six major measures to support labor stability and help affected enterprises and workers weather the storm.

The Ministry of Labor stated that, to mitigate the risk of workforce fluctuations and increasing unemployment, it has outlined key points for the implementation of measures to support labor stability in response to the U.S. tariff policy, covering six areas to aid various worker demographics based on their age and employment status.

• Support for skills training: Aiding impacted enterprises to enhance employee skills with up to NT$2 million in subsidies for internal or joint training sessions, with the application deadline extended to September 30, 2025.
• Reduced work hours for skill enhancement: Employed workers can participate in approved courses during reduced work periods and apply for training subsidies.
• Maintaining employment stability: The government will provide wage gap subsidies to prevent layoffs.
• Integrated employment services: Public employment service agencies will proactively assist unemployed middle-aged workers from impacted industries.
• Incentives for youth training programs: Offering monthly learning incentives of NT$10,000 for youths aged 15 to 29 to encourage their participation in essential industry training.
• Support for first-time job seekers: For youths not in school or employed, a monthly job-seeking subsidy of NT$5,000 will be provided.

The Ministry of Labor emphasized that before the relevant special budget is passed, the aforementioned measures will be initially funded through resources like the Employment Stabilization Fund, ensuring continual support without interruption.
