Under the waves of globalization, the poor does not have any safe, secure and fair opportunities or means to migrate freely for work. Migrant workers in Taiwan are oppressed and repressed by three critical points of control imposed by the government: no freedom to transfer, strict limitation of residence, and private agent system. This has led to the existence of a distorted ”semi-liberal market of migrant workers' in Taiwan. The employers have the prerogative and right to hire or fire migrant workers whilst the migrant workers have no freedom in deciding to whom and how they will sell their labour.
