The global financial crisis in 2007 led to worldwide economic woes. All countries were affected to a certain degree, with Taiwan being no exception. The financial crisis has caused disasters and predicaments to Taiwan's economy, finance, industry, and most noticeably, its workforce in the form of increased unemployment. Factories and industries have reduced output or faced shutdown due to the financial havoc, which has in turn affected their workers. Statistics publicized by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics of the Executive Yuan shows a clear increase in Taiwan's unemployment rate. Despite the government's announcement of its plan to implement a series of counter-crisis policies and programs, the results have so far been ineffective. As for unemployment, the hardest-hit group was the middle and old age unemployed. They are already the more vulnerable part of the workforce as industries undergo structural transformation. Under the repercussions of the current financial crisis, they have by no means been hit hard. Furthermore, among the government's crisis-control policies, unemployment reduction is the one that takes effect with the most difficulty. Resolving the problem of middle and high age unemployment requires a perspective that looks beyond the economic and labor force factors and seeks solution from a social welfare and social work angle. This is because middle and old age unemployment is not only an individual problem, it is also a family-wide problem for the unemployed. As government measures have their limits, a total solution will have to rely on the moral restraint of the corporate sector since it is a part of the problem source. Despite being the victim of the financial downturn as well, companies should take up their corporate social responsibility to make an active response to unemployment. Meanwhile, non-profit organization always plays a very supportive role alongside the government. During this financial crisis, not only did they provide employment services, as commissioned by the government, they also opened up job vacancies to the unemployed, particularly the middle and high age people. Such measures may greatly help reduce unemployment, which is the main subject of this paper.
