Background
0%
of Taiwan's population will be aged 65+ by 2025, making it a "super-aged society"
0.00
South Korea's fertility rate in 2023, the lowest globally
0.0%
Projected elderly population in South Korea by 2070
Taiwan: By 2025 more than 20% of the population will be 65+, pushing Taiwan into a super‑aged society and intensifying pressure on labor supply, pensions and long‑term care.
South Korea: Fertility fell to 0.72 in 2023 (world’s lowest) and the 65+ share is projected to reach 46.4% by 2070, implying a shrinking workforce and heavier fiscal and care burdens.

Purpose of the Project
This project offers a concise, data‑driven comparison of demographic aging in Taiwan and South Korea
and distills the policy portfolio needed to maintain economic vitality, fiscal balance, and intergenerational equity.
Analyze the Impact of Aging
Assess effects on labor supply, pension sustainability, health & long‑term care demand, and intergenerational balance under accelerating old‑age dependency.
Identify Key Policy Levers
Highlight high‑leverage domains: fertility support, senior labor participation, long‑term care capacity build‑out, and calibrated immigration pathways.
Propose Solutions
Generate comparative, evidence‑based recommendations aligned to demographic trajectories and fiscal constraints in both economies.
Guide Policy Decision‑Making
Translate insights into actionable guidance for sustainable demographic management and resilient social protection systems.
