This paper serves two purposes. One is to record activities of Taiwan's family planning program in the final transitional stage. It focuses on the modification of operation and evaluation approaches that are implemented in this stage and the analysis of the cost-benefit. The other purpose is to review what lessons have been learned from the three stages of Taiwan's family planning program.
The major accomplishments of Taiwan's family planning program in its final transitional stage are as follows:
1. To achieve the goal of slowing down population growth. By 1984, Taiwan's NRR was already below the replacement level. In other words, Taiwan's population will stop increasing in the next several decades.
2. Both the rate of contraceptive practice and the proportion of aiming for birth spacing for young women have drastically increased. In addition, the rate of those who have used contraceptives has also increased substantially.
3. The effect of human capital input has largely increased to 1.74 births per working day. It is about 1.6 times greater than the effect from its previous stage.
4. The increasing effectiveness of human capital input has led to the decrease in cost for birth prevention (in terms of 1986 prices or cumulative cost).
5. The contraceptive practice rate has almost reached the goal of a complete contraceptive society.
6. The fertility rate of the age-group 20-24 has substantially decreased. The proportion of first and second births accounts for 78.7% of total births.
Six lessons have been learned from Taiwan's family planning program, finding:
1. A critical evaluation on existing fertility theories.
2. The interaction between evaluation and research activities and family planning promotion strategies.
3. How to break the taboo, resulting in the formation and promulgation of family planning policy.
4. The critical factors for a successful family planning campaign.
5. The social-economic influence of a successful family planning program.
6. Life cycle stages of a successful social policy.
Items 1 and 2 focus on proposing important administrative factors beyond current literature. Items 3, 4, and 5 are the induction of successful program implementation factors. Item 6 proposes a new theory on public policy based on Taiwan's family planning program.
