This research intends to explore the regulations and reactive measures with respect to students working part-time on campus in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Japan and South Korea and Taiwan. The methods adopted include literature review, in-depth interviews and focus group symposia. Major findings are the following:

Prior to 16 June 2015, regulations on students working part-time on campus in Taiwan was similar to South Korea’s (not defined as workers), only individual cases may be judged as workers and then are required to participate in Labor Insurance. Starting from 17 June 2015, students working part-time on campus who are defined as employee need to follow the regulations of Labor Insurance, which is similar to the two-track (stipend vs. salaries & wages) system in the U.S., but is different from the U.K. (which excludes mini-job workers to participate in the Basic State Pension), Japan (which excludes mini-job workers to participate in the Employment Insurance) and Germany (which allows mini-job workers to apply for not participating in the Pension Insurance).

Some reactive measures have been adopted by colleges to alleviate disputes. For example, define employment and nonemployment positions, restrict one employment position for students and reduce employment positions.

Finally, this research suggests that with respect to students working part-time on campus, special treatment of mini- job workers can be adopted either in the University Act or in the Labor Insurance Act.
