In the past, wealthy Northern Taiwan, home to the nations’ capital, was seen as the best place to forge a career. But now this idea is slowly shifting. There’s a now a reverse brain drain emerging that’s flowing southwards. Besides opportunities in tech industries offered by the Southern Taiwan Science Park and other places, the low cost of living and relaxed lifestyle in Southern Taiwan are also a major draw. Let’s find out more.

Job fairs are being held one after another, attracting not only fresh graduates seeking jobs, but also seasoned professionals looking to change careers. However, these job seekers don’t intend to stay in Taipei; their target is Tainan. Ms. Chao and her husband, who are nearly 50 years old, are planning to return to Tainan, their hometown. They are not only thinking of taking care of their elderly parents in the area, but also considering their quality of life.

Salaries are of course important, but quality of life is also extremely important. If I move back south, I feel the overall vibe—and the quality of life—is just much more comfortable.

According to the latest survey from a job bank, as many as 70% of office workers are optimistic about Tainan’s future development, and nearly 60% of respondents are willing to stay in Tainan to forge careers.

With the Southern Taiwan Science Park and the Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City as its two engines, Tainan’s industries such as semiconductors, AI, and quantum advanced manufacturing are rapidly flourishing. Since 2019, there have been 2,069 new investment projects, creating more than 67,000 job opportunities.

AI industry clusters are taking shape in the Southern Taiwan Science Park. The Tainan City Government is also working with job banks to proactively hold recruitment events to attract talent.

Currently, over 40 companies and more than 2,000 job openings are being showcased through this human resources company.

The most important factor when attracting talent is that, compared to Taiwan’s north, the cost of living is lower and the leisurely pace of life is very appealing to office workers.
