The birth rate in Taiwan is approaching a evidence low level of just 0.87 children per woman. It is simply a real disaster that drags the economy and the military down, bringing the invasion of mainland China closer.
Taiwan is the country where the lowest fertility occurs in the world. How reported Newsweek magazine, the country's population in the following period has reported twice as many deaths as births. The Chinese island belongs to the countries with the lowest fertility rate in the world, with an average of 0.89 children per woman. Unfortunately, according to the National improvement Council (NRC), it will shortly fall even more, reaching 0.87. The fertility rate in Taiwan is only somewhat higher than in South Korea, where this rate is lowest and is 0.75.
According to data published by the Department of Home Registration of the Ministry of Interior, the population of Taiwan decreased by 96,710 people (0.41%) compared to November 2024. 7946 children were born on the island at that time, compared with 14 771 deaths.
The National improvement Council of Taiwan wrote on its website about the crisis: “As women postpone the decision to marry, it besides delays the age of the first kid and further shortens their reproductive life. Delaying the decision to have children reduces both the probability and the desire to have children due to intellectual and physical constraints, making it hard to reconstruct the birth rate."
Chen Shih-chung, erstwhile Minister of wellness of the country, warned in an article for Commonwealth magazine: "Both global investigation and local experience show that cash grants are effective – but insufficient. The government may feel that it offers adequate support, but many families inactive face dense financial burdens. Policies must evolve from mitigating burdens to eliminating them – or even reverse them"
The Taiwanese government late approved a subsidy package aimed at expanding the birth rate, which includes a cash allowance of 100,000 fresh Taiwanese dollars (about $3200) per child. However, given the stagnation of wages and the rising cost of living, as well as the fundamental cultural and ideological problems facing most modern countries in the field of having children, the question remains whether these measures will prove effective. After all, it seems that the main issue is cultural, not financial.
In another words, the origin of population tragedy is the excessive emancipation of women and the hedonist lifestyle in which they race men.
