人才是國家永續發展的關鍵。各國爭奪高知識份子和高階人才的競賽也更加競爭
與白熱化。為招攬外國人才，台灣政府編列了豐厚的預算設立人才培育計畫和獎
學金吸引各國優秀學子來台。台灣的僑外生人數在過去的十年成長了四倍，然而，
畢業後留在台灣工作的外籍學位生，卻低於四成。因此，在砸下重金和如此多資
源招攬外籍學生的同時，如何讓這些人才學成之後留在台灣更為迫切與重要！
這份研究以目的地選擇模型評量高階僑外生們在決定是否留台就業所考量的拉推
因素。探討台灣是否為一有吸引力、值得留下來發展的國家，並探究台灣該如何
留住這些優秀人才。
研究結果發現，高階人才低薪化、有限的發展空間和語言隔閡是台灣留才的最大
阻力，而台灣良好的生活品質、安全友善的環境和人民則是吸引這些優秀僑外生
繼續留在台灣的最大原因；對於來自高收入地區的僑外生來說，由於薪資上巨大
的差異，留在台灣工作顯得較無吸引力;而對於來自收入水平和台灣相當或是較
低地區的僑外生來說，畢業後留在台灣工作的意願則相對高出許多。

Talent is the key to economic transformation and growth. However, Taiwan has been
suffering from serious brain drain. With the aim to expand the talent pool, the
Taiwanese government budget billions of NTD each year on providing quality
educations and giving financial support to attract outstanding international students.
However, even international enrollment in Taiwan has increased significantly, the
retention rate of these international students post-graduation remains low.
This study evaluates Taiwan’s attractiveness as a work destination using Choice of
Destination Model. What are the key push and pull factors affecting the retention of the
international students post-graduation? How can Taiwan correct the negative push
factors and reinforce the positive pull factors to become more talent-friendly and
attractive?
This study reveals that the biggest push factors that discourage international students to
stay are low wages and limited career opportunities; the strongest pull factors are the
relaxed lifestyle, safe society, and high quality of life in Taiwan. Students from higher income countries usually see Taiwan as an unattractive work destination due to significant income differences. Students from similar or lower-income countries see
Taiwan as an attractive work destination, but they point out the existence of
discrimination and racism.
