According to Ministry of the Interior (MOI) statistics, Taiwan reached a demographic turning point in 1983, when the birthrate first fell below the replacement rate of 2.1 (taking infant mortality and the sex ratio into account, for the population balance to be maintained, every woman must have 2.1 children over her lifetime).
根據內政部的統計，台灣的「人口轉捩點」發生在 1983 年，總生育率開始下降到每位婦女生育 2.1 個新生兒的「替代水準」（考量嬰兒的死亡折損和性別比例，每個婦女一生平均需生 2.1 個孩子才能達到人口平衡）以下。
