Taiwan’s expected birth rate this year will be lowered again to 0.73.

(Birth, last year until October, about 110,000, this year barely 90,000)

22% decrease in October, 17% cumulative decrease from January to October

However, since March, we have seen a continuous decline of around 20%.

It is likely that this year will end with that 17% expanding to 18-19%.

In this case, the birth rate is around 0.72 to 0.73.
