Many academics believe that in Taiwan, which does not have a compulsory one-child policy like mainland China, the figures will sooner or later return to normal as industrialization continues at a swift pace, women perform as well as men in the workplace, people's insistence on continuing the male line lessens, and laws are amended to be fairer to women.
許多學者相信，台灣並沒有如大陸強制性的一胎化人口政策，工、商業化腳步迅速，女性的表現不輸男性，隨著人們傳宗接代觀念淡薄、法令的修改對女性更公平，數字遲早會恢復常態。
