Over 40 percent of employees from Taiwan said they plan to leave the island to broaden their horizons and seek better opportunities, according to online survey results released by a business services company Monday.

About 10 percent of respondents said they were considering setting up businesses outside the island due to the highly competitive market and unfavorable environment for new businesses on the island. Catering services and PR firms were among the most desired businesses.

The Chinese mainland was the first choice of destination, according to the survey, followed by Japan, and the United States.

Daniel Lee, vice president of 1111 Job Bank, who carried out the survey, said the Chinese mainland was the top choice because good business relationships are already well-established, in addition to the benefits of Chinese language and culture.

More than 21 percent of respondents said they had already experienced working outside the island.

The survey polled 532 office workers between July 10 and 28.
