Family configuration in Taiwan

Because of decreasing birth rate and increasing divorce rate, it seems that the family configuration has been changed drastically. But a research shows that although the birth rate and divorce rate toady are different from the earlier period, the predominant family configuration in Taiwan does not change fundamentally. This research implies that most of the people still live with their parents just as the traditional family form. By the aspect of family configuration, it looks like Taiwan doesn’t have a Second Demographic Transition. But we can still find out that despite most of the grandparents live with their children, the proportion of the aged people living individually has been increasing recently.
I am going to give a further analysis about why Taiwan doesn’t have a Second Demographic Transition. Since Japanese occupied our country for several years, the death rate dropped because of the improvement of environmental conditions. After WW2, there are many grownups in this country, and their parents would choose one of them to live with. This fact results in more and more nuclear family after the war. However, we can’t ascertain that Taiwan is having a Second Demographic Transition only because of the increasing nuclear family. Because most of the parents still live with their children. That means that nowadays stem family is still the predominant family configuration in Taiwan. But by the end of 1980s, the procedure of family composing such as marry, companionate marriage, as well as family decomposing such as divorce, living separately has influenced the family configuration greatly all over the world. Whether Taiwan has a Second Demographic Transition doesn’t have a final conclusion. But there are much more factors to concern about what determine the family configuration in nowadays society.
