On 30 July 1984, Taiwan implemented an eighty-six article Labor Standards Act under Presidential Order No.14069.<ref name=":22">{{Cite web |url=https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=N0030001 |title=Labor Standards Act - Article Content - Laws & Regulations Database of the Republic of China |access-date=2 August 2019 |archive-date=10 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190810150831/https://law.moj.gov.tw/Eng/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?PCode=N0030001 |url-status=live }}</ref> The act defined the standard work week as 40 labor hours with an eight-hour limit per day, permitting an overtime-included maximum of forty-eight labor hours per week.<ref name=":0" />

Article 25 of the Labor Standards Act upholds there will be no sexual discrimination in the conditions of workers,<ref name=":22" /> however, because the Taiwanese culture and thus political economy traditionally "categorizes female employees as naturally marriage- and family-oriented," women are assumed to obtain employment in fields that are limited to these ideals.<ref>Chin TF.

Palgrave Macmillan, Singapore</ref> As a result of feminist ideals becoming more prevalent with women seeking equal work conditions in modern societies such as Taiwan, even marital status policy and immigration policy have been affected as women seek less patriarchal roles to the point where Taiwanese men have sought higher rates of transnational marriages since the 1990s.<ref>TSENG, H.
