Taiwan’s Birth Rate Plummets Amid Global Demographic Shift
Taiwan’s population continued its decline for the 23rd consecutive month, with November births hitting a new record low. The island saw 7,946 births in November, marking the third record low this year and contributing to a negative natural population change. The aging population reached nearly super-aged status, with the 65+ age group comprising 19.99% of the population. While deaths decreased, the birth rate remained low, further solidifying the trend.
