Chang Ming-cheng, director of the Taiwan Provincial Institute of Family Planning, also points out that the foundation for filial piety is built on at least a minimal economic capability. If in the future young people expend excessively economically and spiritually, we really need to pay attention to whether or not this will create another social problem of the young being unwilling to support the old.
台灣省家計研究所所長張明正也指出，孝心的基礎也建立在最起碼的經濟能力，若未來年輕人在經濟、精神上付出超過極限，是否會造成年輕人不願奉養老人的「另一種社會問題」，值得探究。
