Taiwan Population

The population is Taiwan is about 23,071,779 people, according to the 2011 estimate.Taiwan is in the stage 4, of development. Looking at its population pyramid, it is clear that Taiwan is a developed country. Because of the amount of children compared to the amount of working aged people. It shows that people are not having that many children. And not because Taiwanese people like to have small families, but it shows that the people are mainly educated. Differ from poor countries, where the amount of children is much greater than the working age. It roughly gives the idea of the literacy rate and the education level of Taiwan. Also the amount of people aged 80+, also gives the idea of Taiwan's medical care, sanitation, housing, etc. Having alot of elderly people is a sign. This piece of statistic is the main, key evidence showing that Taiwan is a developed country. Firstly, having many elderly means that the country has exceptional medical care, throughout the country. Because of good medical care, the citizens are bound to live longer than undeveloped or developing countries. Secondly, it shows that Taiwan is a rich country, being able to support, and to continue to support the medical care. Also, being able to support that much of retired citizens. The population growth rate is about 0.193%, and the birth rate, death rate ratio is 8.9/1000 to 7/1000. As for the low fertility rate of 1.2 children per women, the population is growing bit by bit. Also means most families consist of 1 children. The net migration of Taiwan is 0.03/1000. With a positive number of net migration, means that more people are interested in visiting the country rather than leaving it. This means, little of the Taiwanese population are likely to stay, plus that approximate 0.03 foreigners coming to Taiwan. Since Taiwan is a developed country, most people stay, or interested in visiting. (for foreigners) Taiwan's expected life expectancy is about 78.32 years. High life expectancy like that, explains the high medical care in Taiwan. High life expectancy is a total amount of years a person is expected to live. High life expectancy not only shows what good medical care Taiwan has but, the total quality for life.That includes, transportation, security, medical care, education, agriculture, technology, jobs, economy, anything like that.  Amazingly Taiwan's fertility rate is less than China's (1.5).Literacy rate of Taiwan is 96.1%. That means, out of the total population of Taiwan, only 3.9% of the people is unable to read and write. Which is a good sign, because more than 90% of the people are educated.
