Survey finds working mother's in Taiwan are just about at their breaking point. How bad? Asked if they could have a do-over 1/3 would opt not to have kids. This is how we got the lowest birthrate in the world! (Thread)

Childcare is HARD WORK ppl, and while Taiwan can be proud of how accepting we are of women workers, even at the managerial level, the truth is it's because we need their labor. At home, patriarchy still rules.
The candle is burning at four ends: child care, elder care, salary pressure and work pressure. Btw more than 80 percent feel guilty they don't spend enough time with kids and more than half say they're paid less for same work as working moms.
We are at 1.07 children per woman, this is a national.crisis. Taiwan needs to support mother's now! And do something about the insane housing market that is driving a lot of economic difficulties. Oh and immigration.(/thread)
