The Elderly Daycare Programs, Off by Four in the Afternoon, it’d Become, a Fantasy, for the Elderly in the Community to Stay at Home to Age, with Not Enough Members of the Family Being Available to Look After Them

All of the issues are, interrelated, and, if you can’t solve one small issue, you can keep on dreaming about how everything will work out, evenly, because it won’t, because the younger generations are not making a high enough pay, which caused them to NOT dare have children, which contributes to how there are, almost a negative birthrate, compounded with, the older adults living longer, and longer, and longer, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

Caring for the elderly in the family in the agriculturally based societies was as natural as breathing, but now, as the greater environment changes, the families find it harder, and harder, to shoulder the burdens alone. Long-Term Care 2.0 stressed caretaking that stays at home, and, having a reduced number of family members one can count on is a worry for the development of the long-term care programs.

In the past decade, the growth of Taiwanese population was almost stagnant, the Professor from the Sociology Department in N.T.U., Shue analyzed, that the number of families are increased by hundred thousand, with the reduction in number of family members in each of the families.

Based off of statistic measures, in 2011, there were only 2.88 persons per household, and in 2016, the number was, reduced to 2.75 persons, the smaller family units of three members or less increased by thirty-percent compared to a decade ago, taking up around seventy-percent of the total number of families here, in Taiwan; there were still about 15.48 percent of the families with three generations living together back in 2011, by 2016, it’d, reduced down to 13.83 percent.

The single person’s family unit was about ten-percent in 2001, by 2016, it’d, increased to twelve percent. The elderly who lived alone, based off of the surveys conducted by the Department of Sanitation and Welfare showed, that there are 9.2 percent of elderly sixty-five and older in 2009; by 2013, it’d, increased to 11.1 percent; and, the elderly couples living alone increased from 18.8 percent to twenty-six percent.

Since 2016, Taiwan had reduced the labor forces by 180,000 workers. In 2007, there were, 662,000 who’d gone abroad to work, it’d increased to 72,800 by 2016, with the steady rate of growth of 1.4 percent annually. Plus, the low wages in Taiwan, that’s caused the lacking in workers, and the lacking in the money, it’d all, added on to the difficulties of having enough personnel for caretaking of the elderly in the population.

And so, everything is still, interrelated, because of there being a REDUCED birthrate, with people growing older, that is why, this is happening, and, the younger generations are not having babies more, because they’re not being paid enough in their jobs, and, if they don’t have enough money, how the HELL can they, all afford to, have babies, which contributed to this trend of population growing older, with a continual decline in birthrate!!!
