Taiwan's newborn population has been declining for nine consecutive years. Despite traditional zodiac beliefs' usual influence on higher birth rates in dragon years, the number of newborns in 2024—a dragon year—was only 134,856. This marks a decrease of 715 from 2023’s 135,571 births, which occurred during a tiger year, historically associated with lower birth rates. The 2024 figure represents a historic low according to household registration statistics released by the Interior Ministry on Friday.
