In January of this year, the number of newborns in Taiwan was less than 9,000.

Taiwan's internal affairs department announced on the 10th that in January of this year, a total of 8,723 newborns were born in Taiwan. Public opinion points out that the number of births in a single month has been consistently below 10,000, indicating that "not having children" has become a choice for many Taiwanese people under the pressure of reality. Data shows that as of the end of January this year, the total population of Taiwan is approximately 23.29 million, a decrease of 107,000 compared to the previous year, marking 25 consecutive months of negative growth.
