Taiwan has been experiencing a continuous decline in birth rates, prompting legislator Zhang Jiachun to advocate for increasing parental subsidies during a parliamentary session. Zhang highlighted the challenge of parents not being able to secure spots in public childcare centers due to high demand, urging the government to adjust subsidies to reflect inflation rates. Concerns over the impact of declining birth rates on national security were also raised, emphasizing the need for improved childcare facilities and policies to address the issue. Additionally, discussions on Taiwan's energy resources, including considerations for nuclear power usage and green energy development, were part of the session as the country navigates the challenges of the AI industry's growth and energy supply sustainability.
