Can Taiwan Afford To Grow Old? Exploring Taiwan’s Struggling Pension System
Taiwan has one of the fastest-aging societies in the world. As birth rates continue to fall and the cost of living remains high, growing concerns surround the future of its pension and retirement systems. In this CONNECTED feature film, a dramatized reenactment follows three generations of a Taiwanese family as they struggle to cope with mounting financial pressures. Through their story, the film offers a glimpse into the urgent questions Taiwan now faces: How can the pension system remain sustainable? Who will bear the burden of an aging society? And what does intergenerational fairness look like in the decades ahead?
