Taiwan, Republic of China
In an effort to decrease Taiwan's population growth rate from 1.9 per 1000, to 1.25 per 1000 in 1989, the Taiwanese government has increased the 1980 family planning budget 15%. Several changes in population related policy such as broadening legal categories for induced abortion are being reviewed by the Ministry of Judicial Administration, and the Taiwan Congress. However, due to increases in the number of young women of childbearing age, and th…
Taiwan
Taiwan's family planning program is directed largely to young high fertility women in order to set a population increase of 1.7% by 1981. Laws are being revised to extend payments to civil servants with small families, permit children to have their mother's family name to minimize son preference, and liberalize abortion laws. The program promotes late marriage, birth spacing, and early contraceptive use by extending home visits by clinic personne…
Planning, Starting, and Operating an Educational Incentives Project
A Field-worker Incentive Experimental Study
This paper reports on a project in Taiwan in which family planning field workers were given incentives in addition to their regular salaries. During the summer of 1971 1340 married women were visited by field workers who offered free loop insertion 3 cycles of pills or 12 condoms. In 10 counties field workers were offered in addition to their regular salaries $2.50 for each loop acceptor and $.50 for each acceptor of pills or condoms. In the othe…
Fertility after insertion of an Iucd in Taiwan's family‐planning program
In a sample of 4648 women who had an IUCD insertion by July 1, 1966 in Taiwan's family planning program, the postinsertion fertility was low in relation to fecundity potential. For those who used IUCDs for limiting family size, only 8% had borne a child 30 months after insertion. Of those who had wanted anotherchild, 40% had borne at least 1 child within 30 months. The postinsertion fertility decline was 65-80% compared with the expected values w…

Korea/Taiwan 1969
An annual review of the achievements in family planning in South Korea and Taiwan is presented. In Korea 1969 closed with more contraceptive acceptors than in 1968 (623000 vs. 472000) but numbers of acceptors were still below program targets. As in the past the major handicap was a shortage of money to meet local costs rather than a lack of interested women. The population growth rate is difficult to measure accurately largely because of underreg…
Taiwan
Taiwans birth rate decline that was enjoyed from 1958 to 1968 has slowed down recently. This in large part arises from the very large increase that will occur first in the number of women 20-24 years old and then in the number 25-29 years old. The continuing large percentage decline of birth rates for women over 30 have less and less effect because these rates are already low as a result of major declines in prior years and this is acting as the …
Fertility and Family Planning in Taiwan
Taiwan is at that stage of the demographic transition in which falling mortality exerts pressures on traditional family forms. There is evidence that efforts are being made to reduce fertility by couples in the latter half of the child-bearing period when they have the moderate number of children and sons most of them want. The extent of such family-limitation efforts, the number of children wanted, and the number of children born are shown to be…
Fertility trends in Taiwan
Fertility rates have been falling In Taiwan for several years. The declines appear to be general throughout the island, and are occurring mainly in the age groups above 50, as would be expected if there are beginnings of family limitation. There are indications that the fertility rates are negatively correlated with indices of modernization In local areas. Several pilot studies indicate a consensus in the population on the desirability of a moder…
