maternity leave 結果共2筆

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je has proposed several policies to address Taiwan’s low birth rate. These policies include extending maternity leave, offering a ＂pregnancy subsidy＂ of NT$50,000 to expectant mothers, and providing an additional subsidy of NT$100,000 to families after the child is born. Ko also plans to establish a ＂Population Development Committee＂ within the Executive Yuan to coordinate efforts between various governmental departments and address the issue of low birth rates. He advocates for increasing public childcare facilities and raising salaries for public preschool teachers and personnel to improve the employment environment for childcare workers. The National Development Council predicts that Taiwan’s population could be halved by 2070 due to low birth rates and an aging population, which would further burden society and younger generations. Ko sees the low birth rate as a security issue for Taiwan, causing labor shortages and challenges in school recruitment.

KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih has unveiled a new childbirth policy aimed at tackling Taiwan’s low-birthrate crisis. The policy includes subsidies for child-rearing, egg freezing, and housing, as well as increased maternity and unpaid leave allowances.
