Taiwan’s declining birth rate is largely attributed to economic pressures, the cost of raising children, and childcare issues.
However, some companies are demonstrating consideration for their employees and creating a more welcoming workplace.
For example, in Tainan, residents praised the rare example of motherly kindness by observing female employees carrying their children while working at a chain coffee shop.
In Kaohsiung, a hotel brand has established childcare centers within its hotels, relieving employees of the burden of commuting to and from work.
Scholars also encourage employers to create a more welcoming workplace, ensuring employees have no worries about their children’s well-being, thus achieving a win-win situation for both employers and employees.
