【2025/11/28總質詢 Part1】少子女化的台灣 人口飛速老化


Here are the main points raised by Legislator Chen Chao-zi(陳昭姿) in the video:

  1. Questioning the Contradiction Between NVIDIA's Childcare Policies and Taiwan's Regulations:

    • NVIDIA's official website claims to have the best childcare policies in the industry, including unlimited subsidies for surrogacy and adoption.
    • She questioned whether some Legislators are logically inconsistent, on the one hand, consider NVIDIA as the "Pride of Taiwan," and on the other hand, oppose surrogacy.
    • She questioned whether Huang Jen-Hsun's (黃仁勳) support for surrogacy is seen as exploiting women.
  2. Pointing Out the Severity of Taiwan's Low Birth Rate Problem:

    • The low birth rate is already a national security issue.
    • The Democratic Progressive Party, DPP has been in power for ten years, and although it has worked hard to propose countermeasures, the results have not been good.
    • Taiwan's fertility rate is the lowest in the world, at 0.82, far below Ireland's 1.5.
    • The number of births in 2016 was 210,000, but last year (2024) it was only 135,000, and the population has been declining for 58 consecutive months.
    • The US CIA report and media such as Newsweek have reported on Taiwan's Population Crisis.
    • Netizens satirize the "great success" of the Low Birth Rate Office and pointed out that the Democratic Progressive Party, DPP's policy goal of "reducing the birth rate" has been achieved.
    • As of October 2025, only 90,839 people have been born in Taiwan, and it is expected that only about 100,000 people will be born in the whole year.
  3. Believing Economic Factors are the Main Cause of the Low Birth Rate:

    • Data from the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics shows that most workers' salaries are below the average level, making it difficult to support themselves, which affects their willingness to have children.
    • High housing prices and relatively low salaries are the reasons why young people are unwilling to have children.
    • Although the government has increased the budget related to the low birth rate, the effect is not obvious.
  4. Expectations and Concerns About NVIDIA Setting Up Factories in Taiwan:

    • She is happy to see NVIDIA come to Taiwan to set up factories, believing that it will help high-tech development and increase employment opportunities.
    • She hopes that the benefits that NVIDIA provides to Taiwanese employees will be as good as those of American employees.
    • Taiwan's current regulations may create obstacles for NVIDIA to provide some benefits (such as surrogacy subsidies).
  5. Advocating for the Legalization of Surrogacy and Explaining the Taiwan People's Party, TPP's Version:

    • NVIDIA's employee benefits include support services for surrogacy and adoption, but Taiwan has not yet legalized surrogacy.
    • She questioned whether the government wants NVIDIA to violate the law in Taiwan or restrict the benefits of Taiwanese employees.
    • About 30 countries in the world have clear laws regulating surrogacy.
    • Some Democratic Progressive Party, DPP Legislators demonize surrogacy, calling it the sale of wombs and the exploitation of women.
    • She emphasized that promoting the legalization of surrogacy is to solve the problem of low birth rate.
    • Key Points of the Taiwan People's Party, TPP's Surrogacy Version:
      • The commissioning party must have Republic of China nationality and be unable to give birth (no uterus, uterine disease, life-threatening pregnancy, etc.).
      • The surrogate mother must have Republic of China nationality and have experience in childbirth.
      • The surrogate mother and the commissioning party must undergo professional evaluation of psychological, physiological, social and family influences before and after surrogacy.
      • Ensure the health, bodily autonomy and privacy of the surrogate mother, and agree on visitation rights after delivery in advance.
      • Medical institutions must fully inform the risks before surgery and obtain written consent and notarization.
      • The assisted spouse must purchase personal insurance for the surrogate mother.
      • The core of the bill is to protect the surrogate mother, the commissioning party and the children born in the future.
  6. Emphasizing the Necessity and Urgency of Legalizing Surrogacy:

    • She believes that the legalization of surrogacy is imperative and should be managed in a rigorous manner.
    • This issue has been discussed for 30 years, and the Health Promotion Administration has also conducted many public opinion polls and has a complete draft Bill.
    • She called on the government to pay attention to people who are infertile and desire to have children.
