An Examination of Substitute Military Service

Shin-Min Chen

Abstract

Substitute service, in tandem with the regular military service, was put into effect in 2000. More than16,000 young men have chosen substitute service over the past two years. The new measure can be declared successful in that there have been no reports of any misconduct. But there is still much room left for improvement. One example will suffice: More manpower must be assigned to private hospitals and sanatoria.

Meanwhile, time is not ripe yet for Taiwan to start an all-volunteer army. The most important thing is to continue to upgrade the quality of the cadre.
