Statistics show that among child-bearing-age women (25-39) in the Taiwan area, more than one half are in the labor market, rather than staying at home to take care of the kids. Thus there must be a large number of children given to someone else to raise.
根據統計，中華民國台灣地區廿五到卅九歲的育齡婦女中，有一半以上投入就業市場，沒在家帶小孩，可見托兒的情形必然不少。
