The future consequences of low birth rate in Taiwan Grace Taiwan is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is also the crowded place which filled with (a population) about twenty-three million residents. Owing to the fact over-industrialization and commercialization, all of us on this island have to suffer from the air, water, and even pollution. Thus, lower live we suffer from low living quality, and I am often fed up with traffic jam all the time. In short, too many people sharing the limited nature (very limited) resources also cause many conflicts and problems. Nowadays, (Because of the bad living quality, younger couples refuse to give birth to babies. Now low birth rate seems (has become) a big issue in Taiwan; it means newborn babies now are less than before. Though most of the people, especially the health officials, worry about it very much, it may be the solution for over-crowded (to this over-crowded nation). In the future, when (as) the population declines, every one of us can live more comfortably and gain better welfare and more space. Most of all, the exhausted mother earth can have a chance to take rests (a rest) for a while. A humorous and ironical point of view!
