By Wang Kuan-jen and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerThere are 734 unregistered children in Taiwan born to migrant workers who have been unaccounted for after arriving in the nation, the National Immigration Agency (NIA) said on Wednesday. The Control Yuan also said that the agency did not know how many such children were in Taiwan. On average, about 200 pregnant migrant workers or those already caring for a child disappear from their jobs each year, the agency said. As most migrant workers with children are Indonesian, the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office in Taipei has promised to provide four temporary housing units, the agency said. The agency said it is also working with the Ministry of Labor to obtain more resources to help resettle migrant mothers and their children.
