Liu Tan-kui, a specialist in the Bureau of Health Promotion and Protection at the Department of Health, says that the 16,000 babies born to "little mothers" each year are a great burden for society. Statistics indicate that "80 % of 'little mothers' know nothing about contraception, which demonstrates a tremendous shortcoming in sex education in Taiwan."
衛生署保健處簡任技正劉丹桂表示，每年這一萬六千多名「小媽媽」生下的孩子，已為社會帶來衝擊和負擔，而根據調查，「百分之八十的小媽媽根本不知道如何避孕，可見國內性教育的確有很大的漏失！」
