ABSTRACT

Globally, the migration ‘industry’ is both immense and complex, exhibiting a multitude of variations on many different levels in its processes of the provision and delivery of labour from one part of the globe to another. The range of mechanisms that fuel this process remain fundamental to any understanding of the diversity of experiences undergone by migrant workers. Taiwanese labour brokers represent one such mechanism, facilitating the placement of migrant workers in the Taiwanese labour market.
