In hard times business has been looking to down size, to lay off or give forced unpaid leave to employer. In Taiwan the government's Council of Labor Affiar(CLA) looks to fund on the job-trainning for many firms. Firms won't have to lay off their workers and can give them more training and be ready when times are better. Chen I-min director-general of the Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training said:“This is a good time for [companies to provide] on-the-job training, Instead of layoffs or unpaid leave, companies can consider training their workers now when business is slow to prepare them for when the economy improves"
“10 companies have already been counseled, and six of them have agreed to scale down their layoffs or use unpaid leave instead,” CLA Minister Jennifer Wang said.

I like Taiwan's outlook here, they are preparing for the future. It is completely different from the United States economy who will continue to cut as many jobs as possible to save their own businesses.
