promotion of complaint channels and support resources, and
provide aid to children and youth whose rights have been
violated.
(2) Regarding cases of child/youth workers being subject to serious
workplace bullying, captivity, and torture during their tenure as
work-study students, interns, or employees, the Government
should implement a protection mechanism for serious child abuse
cases.
Transition to Employment for Juvenile Offenders
127. There is a large gap between the number of children and youth
discharged from juvenile reform schools and juvenile detention houses
over the years as listed in Attachments 5-31 and 5-32 of the Second
Report and the description of the employment services provided to
juvenile offenders after their discharge from juvenile reform facilities
in Attachment 9-25.
128. As shown in the Control Yuan’s investigation report96, around 60% to
70% of the vocational training programs provided at juvenile reform
schools do not meet the demands of today’s labor market. It is also
observed that there is no uniform standard governing the manner in
which reform facilities and labor agencies should collaborate with each
other.
129. Recommendation: The employment services provided at juvenile
reform schools should be in keeping with the current labor market.
Furthermore, the MOL, MOE, and MOJ should consolidate the
available resources for employment services and career counseling,
enhance collaboration, and discuss and propose suitable measures to
help juvenile offenders reintegrate into society.
