According to the Overseas Labour Management Department under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA), 10,164 workers were dispatched to work overseas in May alone with 5,146 to Taiwan, 2,424 to Japan, 1,483 to the Republic of Korea, 187 to Malaysia and 558 to Saudi Arabia.

The positive result is attributable to the MoLISA’s efforts to efficiently manage labour export activities and resume labour exports to traditional markets like Japan and the RoK.
