Taiwanese local candidates propose childcare policies

Overview

Political candidates in Taiwan are proposing various childcare and parenting support policies as part of their regional platforms.

In Hsinchu County, Kuomintang magistrate candidate Hsu Hsin-ying introduced her ‘2030 Hsinchu Female Power’ platform. Her proposals include expanding nighttime and weekend childcare services, increasing capacity for specialized classes for two-year-olds, and launching a digital resource app for childcare matching and health records. Her plan also features a ‘Hsinchu Good Pregnancy 100,000 Gift Bag’ which includes subsidies for pre-pregnancy health checkups and psychological counseling sessions to address postpartum depression.

In Taitung County, candidate Chen Ying hosted a family event to promote her parenting-focused platform. Her proposals involve expanding subsidies for postpartum care, such as meals and home-based services in rural areas, and aiming for ‘one public childcare center per township.’ She also emphasized the development of parent-friendly public spaces and parks.
