Preface
The first social insurance program in Taiwan– labor insurance – began in
1950. Since its implementation, the statutes governing the labor insurance
system have undergone revisions several times in response to social
changes and economic development. These amendments have expanded
the range of insurance beneficiaries, gradually increased different types
of benefits, progressively lowered requirements of benefits payment
and brought about greater protection for laborers' work and lives. Labor
insurance lifted the curtain on our country's social insurance system. As
various social security systems were promoted, the delegated businesses
operated by the Bureau of Labor Insurance, Ministry of Labor have
increased and diversified. The Bureau of Labor Insurance, Ministry of
Labor's organization has thus been increasingly growing in size, providing
protection and services for laborers. The following sections will introduce
the organizational structure, business profile, and future perspectives of the
Bureau of Labor Insurance, Ministry of Labor (hereinafter referred to as BLI).
