On May 20, the Alliance for Childcare and Employment Policies praised the government's push for "Childcare Leave" to foster family-friendly workplaces but noted that the proposed "0-18 growth allowance" of NT$5,000/month would have a limited effect on raising the birth rate, citing Poland's experience.
