Taiwan Demographics

Population

Population: 23.5 million (2014 estimate) The population of Taiwan is roughly 23.5 million people, according to 2014 estimates. That number is down from 24 million in 2010. Taiwan''s population has been declining ever since the end of World War II and its subsequent occupation by Japan (15th century - 1945). The birth rate in Taiwan has declined steadily since that time as well, which means that the country''s population growth will continue to decline until it reaches zero.
