Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang stated on the 27th that in response to the sharp decline in birth rates, the Executive Yuan is promoting a 'Growth Subsidy.' To avoid widening the wealth gap, the policy is designed without a self-deposit requirement. The subsidy aims to provide economic support to caregivers and ensure children have funds for education or employment upon reaching adulthood. The policy draws on experiences from countries like South Korea and Japan.
