Taiwan’s 2024 Fertility Rate Compared with East Asian Peers

Taiwan’s TFR was 0.885 in 2024, below Singapore and Japan but above Korea.

What the Data Shows

Taiwan’s fertility rate is now deep in ultra-low territory. A 2024 TFR of 0.885 places it below Singapore and Japan but still above Korea’s 0.75 in the same year. Taiwan’s reported 2025 drop to 0.695 should be treated as a separate later-year shock unless all peer values are refreshed to 2025.
