Why Taiwan
a. Crime
As of January 2023, Taiwan has been ranked as the third-safest country in the world in 2023 by Numbeo.com. Under Numbeo's Safety Index, Taiwan came in third place with a score of 83.8, trailing only Qatar, which came in first with a score of 85.2, and second-place United Arab Emirates with a score of 84.9. Although crime has increased at a moderate over the past 3 years, the biggest crime that residents have to work about is bribery and corruption.
b. Education
Taiwan is one of the top-performing OECD countries in reading literacy, mathematics and sciences with the average student scoring 523.7, compared with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development average of 493, placing it seventh in the world and has one of the world's most highly educated labor forces among OECD countries. Another report from 11fleet.com states that, ‘unlike other countries where the student body of international schools consist of mostly expat children, Taiwan’s international school is largely composed of Taiwanese who also hold a foreign passport. However, in recent years the international schools in Taiwan have recently become more internationally diverse due, in part to the emergence of offshore wind farm industry and entrepreneurs who have discovered Taiwan as an affordable place to raise a family…’
c. Healthcare
By law, everyone in Taiwan must be enrolled in the national healthcare system. This includes foreign residents. It has features of both a public and a private system. This fact gives patrons incredible flexibility of choice over what doctors they see. Residents pay for healthcare based on income and need. This ensures a high quality of service at exceptionally low prices.
