Taiwan Increases IVF Subsidies to Boost Birth Rate
Taiwan is giving more money to couples who want to have babies using IVF, which helps them get pregnant.
They're offering up to Rs 6 lakh, twice the previous amount.
This helps because IVF can be expensive, and it often takes multiple tries to work.
Taiwan, like other countries, has fewer young people having kids, which could cause problems in the future.
Other countries like China and Russia are also trying to encourage people to have more children by giving them money or other help.
Taiwan is increasing financial aid for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to address its declining birth rate.
The government will offer up to Rs 6 lakh in assistance, more than double the current amount.
The subsidy will cover multiple stages of IVF treatment, from the first through the sixth attempt.
The policy aims to counter the trend of delayed or avoided parenthood among younger generations.
This move follows similar initiatives in other countries like China and Russia.
