Taiwan's fertility rate of 0.87 in 2023 is among the lowest ever recorded by any country — even lower than South Korea's crisis figure. In a crowd of 2,000 Taiwanese, fewer than 14 are newborns in a given year. Taiwan faces a compounded problem: not just low births, but a healthcare and pension system built for a population that will not exist by 2050.
