Why Taiwanese Aren’t Making Babies

摘要
Previously I did a video about Singapore's attempts to maintain their native population through the use of pro-natal financial incentives and policies. I also covered China's population control policies coming up to its momentous One Child Policy. Today we are going to look at Taiwan’s situation and their own low fertility issues.
Ultra low natural fertility is a challenge that each of the developed Asian economies are struggling with. Why is this happening? What policies can governments enact to reverse this trend? What is it saying about people’s preferences?
Note: After publishing this video, I was sent Chinese statistics that showed that the 16.8% of married couples still lived with their parents. Thanks to Discord member "the screenshots" for digging up this information.
