Stuck With Low Pay, How Taiwan’s Young Graduates Cope With High Costs | Asia’s Stuck Generation
Millennials in Taiwan are facing a new reality — high cost of living, stagnating wages and tougher competition for well-paying jobs. Despite getting university degrees, many are not better off financially than their parents’ generation. Some are just surviving, with no savings at the end of each month.
Unlike their parents, who entered the workforce in the 1980s during the golden era of wage growth in post-war Taiwan, youths today face single-digit economic growth and slow wage increases, amid overall inflation and the rising cost of housing.
CNA Insider follows the lives of a few ‘trapped’ youths to see what they’re doing to cope - including working up to 4 jobs, or going overseas to work in F&B jobs.

Why Are Taiwan Salaries So Low?
I have lived in Taiwan for several years now. And I like this place a lot. But one of the biggest criticisms of life here has to do with wages.
“The salary is too low here.”
This is a big reason why people leave and go to Australia or the United States or China. In this video I want to talk a bit about wage stagnation in Taiwan’s economy.

Taiwan statistics show record highs for employment in old age
Older people in Taiwan are now more likely to be employed than not. That’s according to the latest government statistics, which show that more than 66% of 45-to-65-year-olds are currently employed. That figure reflects not just those who stay in work, but also those who have retired and then gone back to work. More and more industries are opening their doors to older employees, especially sectors hit by the post-pandemic labor shortage, such as hospitality.
Dressed in a bright yellow T-shirt, 72-year-old Judy is retired, and she’s off to work in this hotpot restaurant.
She greets her colleagues and changes into her work uniform, emerging from the back with a trolley to sort out the sauces.

Millennials in Taiwan are facing a new reality — high cost of living, stagnating wages and tougher competition for well-paying jobs. Despite getting university degrees, many are not better off financially than their parents’ generation. Some are just surviving, with no savings at the end of each month.
Unlike their parents, who entered the workforce in the 1980s during the golden era of wage growth in post-war Taiwan, youths today face single-digit economic growth and slow wage increases, amid overall inflation and the rising cost of housing.
CNA Insider follows the lives of a few ‘trapped’ youths to see what they’re doing to cope - including working up to 4 jobs, or going overseas to work in F&B jobs.

Older people in Taiwan are now more likely to be employed than not. That’s according to the latest government statistics, which show that more than 66% of 45-to-65-year-olds are currently employed. That figure reflects not just those who stay in work, but also those who have retired and then gone back to work. More and more industries are opening their doors to older employees, especially sectors hit by the post-pandemic labor shortage, such as hospitality.
Dressed in a bright yellow T-shirt, 72-year-old Judy is retired, and she’s off to work in this hotpot restaurant.
She greets her colleagues and changes into her work uniform, emerging from the back with a trolley to sort out the sauces.
Judy
Restaurant group employee
My family was shocked that somebody would hire me! I told the company that I’m 72, and they said they are very welcoming of people starting a second career. I hadn’t worked in the restaurant industry before. So why do I do it? Well, I love eating!
Judy’s rich career history includes a stint working for a bank in Vancouver. Then she went to Hong Kong, where she was private secretary to a company chair. At 65, she retired and moved back to Taiwan to enjoy travel and leisure time in nature. But seven years later, she found herself itching to get back to work.
Judy
Restaurant group employee
The pandemic came along, and after three years, I felt like I’d just been at home all the time. I felt very disconnected from society, so I thought “Why not try going out to work again?”
Working front-of-house is complex and demanding, so Judy chose a more behind-the-scenes role, plating up meals. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics says that in March 2023, the proportion of 45-65-year-olds in work surpassed two thirds for the first time. It’s no longer a rarity.
In this fast food store, customers are greeted cordially by 70-year-old Grandma Tsai.
Ten percent of Macdonald’s employees are now over 60. In the last five years, the number of older employees at Muji grew fivefold. Meanwhile, this August, the number of older employees at Wow Prime was twice as many as 12 months ago.
Lin Yu-li
Restaurant group HR development manager
On Aug. 1, we had 406 middle- and old-aged partners working in onsite operations. Compared to the same date last year, it’s more than 100% growth.
Returning to employment in one’s golden years is a growing trend. For many workers, it’s proof that ageist assumptions are meaningless, while for employers, it can be a solution to labor shortages.
