Just installed Mint to try it out because it looks similar to Windows. Don’t judge me.

Taiwan has paid time off for mothers(not dad’s). Usually a month or so. There are no housing benefits in Taiwan that I know of. The incentive is def a small portion of how much a child costs, but it’s not a little. I get like 8000nt a month directly deposited into my account. I also get schooling incentives. It is basically free cash that pays around 25% of my child’s schooling/daycare.

China has a brutal 996 culture if you’re lucky to even have a job. Nobody is going to start making babies when a VERY large % of your young population is unemployed.

I hate to do this, but I feel like Taiwan(numba 1) is doing this better than China(numba 4).

The Taiwan government is literally giving money to have kids. The more kids you have, the more monthly cash they give you. I think our president said something along the lines of “it’s up to our country to take care of all children of Taiwan”. I’m paraphrasing.

Not just cash, we also have infrastructure setup. Most malls, government buildings and public places have breastfeeding rooms. There is almost always a bathroom designated for people with children. There are even bathrooms set up with small tiny toilets. There is a designated area for kids to sit on the train. There are designated elevators for kids.

Plus healthcare is free/cheap so that helps.

If China wants more babies, it needs to start giving the people things that promote having kids. Unless you force them to have kids… I guess because you can. Fuck the CCP.

The people of China are fine. Fuck Xi and the CCP. Taiwan numba one.
