Live-in caregivers and home help

Latest government guidelines to encourage caregivers to stay with the same employer.

I don’t know if the $20,000 is a recommended monthly wage or just an example.

Seems low but considering recently ~30% of Taiwanese make less than $30,000 and Taiwan minimum wage was/is ~$23800.

How can their wage be lower than the “normal” minimum wage? Is it because they are supposed to live with their employer?

From my experience room and board is typically included.

I think they generally only have to officially have one day off a week

My father-in-law had a 24/7 Indonesian caregiver, and she was paid about $20k/month. I think the laws may be different for the foreign care workers, and there is a special government office tasked with managing them.
