Taiwan is projected to lose a working-age population of about 6.67 million people in two waves of retirement in the coming years, as the nation confronts accelerating demographic decline and a shortage of younger workers to take their place, the Ministry of the Interior said.

That’s what you get for putting a limit on child births I guess
That was a PRC policy, don’t be ignorant. There were government recommendations to only have two kids, not a regulation, and it was over 60 years ago.
The problem in Taiwan stems mostly from women chafing against patriarchy in a modern world.
Thanks for the info. Will own and admit my ignorance.
This info does flip it for me still.
Good for the women sticking it to the Gov and showing them that without (happy) women you don’t have a continuing workforce.
I get the sense they are sticking it more to entitled guys and potential mothers-in-law than the government! Just going off one friend’s opinions there, though.
It was not “recommendations”. People were forced to go through abortions and castrations.
OK, I am not surprised, but that’s not well known and kind of a taboo subject so not official, they were ‘guidelines’ and the policies were ‘encouragement’. Canada did similar nasty abusive sterilization in its colonial enterprise until the '70s, but hardly anyone knows.
