題組 33~34       In the past, people had to go to wars and lived in a bad health condition withlittle food to eat. Even under these terrible conditons, every family still chose tohave babies to work for the family or pass on their next generation. But thingsare different now. “Fewer babies” are    no strangers to many countries today   ,and it is a serious problem. In Taiwan, the birth rate was 1.13 in 2017, everywoman having only 1.13 babies in her life.         But how would this be a big problem for us when couples choose to havefewer babies or no kids? To begin with, we can see more old people in thecoming future. Young men have to work hard to make more money forthemselves and the old. Because of the worries about money and care time,more young people don’t want to get married or say “no” to having kids. Thiscan soon be an even terrible condition for the society because there are fewerchildren and young people in the country. In the end, we may not have enoughyoung workers in our own country, so more workers from foreign countries haveto come to Taiwan and work here. Even though there is no easy and fast way tosolve the problem out of “fewer babies.” We and the government need to dosomething before it’s too late.
