Article 3 The Ministry of Labor (MOL) will implement measures before July to meet the increased demand for migrant caregivers following new legislation promulgated in January, Minister of Labor Hung Sun-han told legislators today. It is estimated that the amendments will render an additional 530,000 Taiwanese eligible to hire migrant caregivers, Hung said, adding that 100,000 are expected to apply for care under the new law. At the end of last year, the Legislative Yuan passed an amendment to the Employment Service Act, allowing people aged 80 and older to bypass Barthel Index-based health evaluations. The Barthel Index is a widely used tool in Taiwan to assess a person’s ability to perform daily activities in clinical practice and research. The revision to Article 46 of the act also extended the waiver to people aged 70 to 79 with Stage II or more advanced cancer, while regulations for recipients with indigenous status will be jointly established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) and the Council of Indigenous Peoples. The president promulgated the amendment on Jan. 28. However, MOL has yet to release measures to meet the increased demand for caregivers, drawing criticism from lawmakers who accuse it of “obstructing” the new bill and being “idle.” Hung explained the administrative delay, stating that on Jan. 17, MOL and MOHW held discussions to ensure that adequate care remains accessible for the families most in need. Families with critically ill members report that migrant caregivers prefer to take “easier jobs” over “harder jobs.” As a result, the MOL is working to establish a dual-track application system to ensure that those most in need retain priority access to caregivers, he said. Furthermore, once the dual-track system is in place, nursing homes and care facilities for the elderly will experience increased labor demands. To address this, MOL must secure funding, hire additional workers, and provide training, all of which will take several months, he added. The ministry must also negotiate with four source countries on how to increase migration, implement new overseas training programs, and adjust associated regulations, he noted. The MOL hopes to complete these tasks within six months, he said. The ministry is not stalling, but if these adjustments are not implemented correctly, they could have devastating effects on the hiring market, he added.

巴氏量表的功能驗證
在文章第三段中，作者明確給出了定義：「巴氏量表（Barthel Index）是台灣廣泛用於臨床與研究的工具，用來評估一個人執行日常活動的能力（assess a person’s ability to perform daily activities）。」 選項 (B) 完全契合這段敘述。這個量表在文中之所以被提及，是因為法規修正後，80 歲以上的長者將可免除這項評估，直接申請外籍看護。
