TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- Taiwan is likely going to become a "hyper-aged" society within a mere eight years, according to the National Development Council (NDC), reported CNA.
The NDC estimates that people over the age of 65 will make up over 20 percent of Taiwan's population in only eight year's time, thus making it a "hyper-aged" society.
In fact, the NDC estimates that Taiwan will reach that milestone even faster than Japan (11 years), the U.S. (14 years), France (29 years), and the UK (51 years). Meanwhile, it is on a similar track as South Korea (8 years) and Singapore (7 years).
