Taiwan Sees 21 Straight Months of Population Decline
Posted on 2025-10-09 17:08:14
The Ministry of the Interior says Taiwan's total population has now declined
for 21 consecutive months, reflecting ongoing demographic challenges.

According to the ministry, as of the end of September, Taiwan's population
stood at 23.317 million, down by about 87 thousand people from a year
earlier—an average decrease of 239 people per day.

There were a little over 8 thousand 600 babies born in September, with
roughly one baby born every five minutes, but that number remains far below
the more than 15 thousand deaths recorded the same month.

The number of people aged 65 and older has reached 4.62 million, making up
19.8 percent of the total population — just shy of the 20 percent threshold
that would classify Taiwan as a "super-aged society".
