亞洲四小龍的台灣與世界第二大經濟體的日本,兩國因最近幾年經濟高度成長,國民所得提高,遂成為亞洲地區甚至南美等國的人民打工的天堂。台灣當局於一九九二年制定就業服務法,規定獲有許可證的職業介紹業者可以仲介外勞至本國工作。但台灣當局因對派遣勞動尚乏認識,因此派遣業者在台灣的外勞市場有相當的活動空間。另一方面,日本係以入國管理法規範外籍勞工,又另制定勞動派遣法。但因一九八五年制定勞動派遣法時,並未考慮到外籍勞工將會大量湧進日本的情事,導致為數頗多的派遣業者非法派遣外籍勞工的現象。台灣與日本雖政策各異,但派遣業者介入外籍勞工之問題日趨嚴重。
The economy in both Taiwan and Japan has been getting strong in the recent years. This situation has lured a great deal of people in the other areas of Asia, even those South Americans, went to these two countries to work. The authority of Taiwan has legislated for the law of service of employment to regulate agencies that have licenses, but has no knowledge of temporary. The consequences are those agencies of temporary have a leak to run their business. On the contrary, the authority of Japan has legislated for the law of entry country and controls to regulate foreigners to work in Japan, and also has established the law of temporary. However the government of Japan had never considered a large-scale of foreign labor would rush into this country through temporary agencies when the law was established. Though there are different policies of foreign labor and temporary between Taiwan and Japan, they are facing the same and serious problem on illegal temporary agencies intervening foreign labor.
