Taiwan’s current industrial and social structure would fall apart.
That’s close enough to a “nose dive” for me.

Agree. A large docile workforce willing to put in long hours for relatively low pay has been a key part of Taiwan’s economic success for seven decades now. Once upon a time, that workforce was Taiwanese. Taiwanese who don’t have to or won’t do this kind of work have been replaced by immigrants since the early 1990s.

Show me a number. 50%?
I have no idea what the topic of your percentage is.
If we need stats about labour force numbers, the inimitable @foc may be able to help.

What exactly is a steep drop? 50% contraction in economic output?
When I think of a nose dive, I think of something significant.

I think TAiwan society does need the foreign workers taking the jobs taiwanese dont want to do. Much like America is going well because of all the latinos (mostly) who are doing all the work the Murcans wont do.
