The MOI's population policy committee recently announced that as of the end of 2000, there were something over 1.93 million unmarried men in the Taiwan Area in the "marriageable" age group of 20-34, but only 1.42 million women-an excess of men over women of half a million.
內政部人口政策委員會日前公布，到八十九年底，台灣地區二十至三十四歲適婚年齡的未婚男性有一百九十三萬多人；女性則為一百四十二萬多人。
