Many women leave the workforce due to marriage, childbirth, or family responsibilities. To assist these women in successfully returning to work, the Ministry of Labor has promoted the "Women's Re-Employment Program." This program is designed specifically for women who have been out of the labor market for over 180 days due to family reasons and offers one-on-one services from public employment service agencies, including employment counseling and workplace adaptation courses.

• Women's Self-Training Incentives: This incentive aims to encourage women to participate in vocational training, enhance their professional skills, and those who complete the course and gain employment can receive a reward of up to 30,000 NT dollars.
• Women's Re-Employment Incentives: Applicable to women who are recommended by public employment service agencies and have continued employment for 90 days, they can also apply for a reward of up to 30,000 NT dollars.
• Employer Work Hour Adjustment Incentives: This program encourages employers to flexibly adjust the work hours of female employees, allowing them to successfully engage in the workplace while balancing family responsibilities. If an employer hires a recommended woman for one month, they can apply for a "Work Hour Adjustment Subsidy" of 3,000 NT dollars per month, for a maximum of 12 months, totaling up to 36,000 NT dollars.
