China Economic News quoted Taiwan's "China Times" as reporting that Taiwanese media recently reported that if the current growth rate of migrant workers is used, it is estimated that the number of migrant workers will exceed one million in 2028. Taiwan's labor department director He Peishan admitted frankly on October 530 that it was "possible", but she emphasized that labor shortages cannot be solved solely by opening up migrant workers.

Public Opinion Representative Yang Qiongying said that the number of migrant workers on the island continues to hit new highs, with an increase of more than 50,000 in the same period this year compared with the same period last year, and the labor authorities have further opened up overseas Chinese and mid-level technical manpower, and the international labor force is bound to continue to increase. It is estimated that The number of migrant workers is likely to exceed one million in 2028, but the increasingly serious situation of missing migrant workers will further affect the job opportunities of local workers.

Regarding the number of migrant workers exceeding one million in 2028, He Peishan admitted that it is "possible", but the shortage of workers cannot be solved by opening up migrant workers alone, and a plan will be put forward within a month.
