Why do Chinese Taiwanese don't love to have children? The crisis of Taiwan depression
Taiwan economic daily
Why do Taiwanese don't love to live, and are also born less? Taiwan's low wage predicament has not been solved for many years, and the long hours are among the top of the world. To alleviate the pressure of Taiwan's minority population, the Taiwan authorities must formulate a practical and feasible birth control policy which can make use of force, and at the same time spend money on the knife edge. The
Taiwan's crisis of fewer children has not occurred today. In recent years, the total birth rate in Taiwan has recovered, but it is still below the level of ultra low fertility of 1.3 people, and the ideal fertility rate for maintaining the structure of the stable population is 2.1.
in Asia, there are also many areas that are equally vulnerable to aging and low birth rates, such as Singapore, Korea, Japan and so on. In recent years, the total fertility rate of 1.4 people in Japan, as early as 2003 in the cabinet set up "less child minister", the incumbent Prime Minister Abe after the appointment, more desperately expedited, and yelled the total fertility rate in 2025 to the goal of pulling the total fertility rate to 1.8 people.
why Taiwanese do not love to live and live less? You see, Taiwan's low wage predicament has not been solved for many years, and the long hours are among the best in the world. Even if the men and women who have fought for a long time, it is not easy to take time to get married and have children, but how to cope with the huge and laborious education and education problems of a double paid family with limited economic ability is to stop a lot of life.
frankly speaking, the problem of "minority child" in Taiwan is actually in the plight of poor economy, education and social welfare. If Taiwan wants to get rid of difficulties and reduce the pressure of population growth, it should not rely solely on the Ministry of health and welfare. Cai Yingwen and Lin Quan Du should jump out and take the lead.
Japan spent more than 10 years trying to encourage fertility, but its effectiveness is not enough to make people wonder. Taiwan, which lacks the overall strategy of expedited growth, is more difficult to give birth to young people in a short time. However, the journey began with the limited resources and time. At least three things should be done by the Taiwan authorities:
first, the authority of the Taiwan authorities is limited, and the "leveraged" "local government" should be promoted together with the enterprises. For example, to co-ordinate the allocation of money as an incentive, or to imitate the county and city energy conservation competition a few years ago, with high bonus to encourage the counties and cities to introduce the strategy of giving birth to local conditions and taking into account the different needs of urban and rural areas.
in the enterprise, many enterprises have offered good employees' benefits in the past few years, such as the 20 week maternity leave of the Taiwan Standard Chartered, which is superior to the 56 day maternity leave of the "labor law", or a subsidy of 66 thousand yuan (NT, the same below), such as Jin Ren Po group encouraging employees to have one child per child. At the moment, the authorities should encourage the competent enterprises to become the forest of the happy enterprises, or to consider whether the enterprise provides friendly fertility or nurture measures as one of the criteria for the enterprise to apply for the "government" funds.
Second, labor and gender equality regulations should provide strong support for childbearing. For example, many women are worried about their job and promotion after they are worried about childbearing. At this time, the authorities should actively improve the distance work rules, or let parents with childbearing needs to choose part of the work time.
Third, effective assistance should be provided for families who want to give birth but can not afford to or can not afford to give birth. For the family that can't afford it, the authorities should pay more attention to the "partake of the responsibility of parenting in substance", such as improving the public Tobey from the environmental side, or the grant of high care and education, as well as the special deduction for preschool children. For the families who want to live but can not be born, they can also imitate the Japanese supply of test tube infants, infertility treatment half price subsidies, so that the real willing to raise the family, can be a flat price dream.
to reduce the less child pressure in Taiwan, the authorities must work out a practical and effective fertility policy, and also spend money on the knife edge.
