MOL Plans to Increase Maternity Benefits to Boost Birthrate
Posted on 2025-09-03 19:36:13
The Ministry of Labor says it's drafting details of a plan to boost maternity
benefits for workers, as part of efforts to counter Taiwan's falling
birthrate.

Budget documents for next year have already set aside more than 3 billion NT
for a new subsidy program, in addition to the existing 3.8 billion NT
allocated for parental leave payments.

Officials say the extra funding could go toward higher maternity payouts,
though specifics are still being finalized.

Under current rules, insured female workers can claim maternity benefits
equal to two months of their insured salary.

Last year, more than 7.5 billion NT were paid out across over 105 thousand
cases.

The Labor Ministry says details of the expanded program will be announced
once planning is complete.
