NT$100K Really Encourage Birth Rates? Experts Doubt
The Executive Yuan will launch the new fertility subsidy on January 1, next year , investing NT$7.29 billion to encourage childbirth, with the subsidy for each birth increased to NT$100,000.
Childcare Policy Alliance says that cash subsidies would need to reach at least NT$5 million to effectively raise birth rates. Subsidies for first-time assisted reproductive treatments for women under 39 will increase to NT$150,000.
