BBC World Service - Business Daily, Taiwan: The political mood

How are young people feeling ahead of the elections?

How are young people feeling ahead of the elections? And is the low birth rate down to financial choices?

The military threat from China, which claims Taiwan as its own, has dominated global headlines of late. 

But ahead of elections, most voters here say it’s low wages and property prices that are preying on their minds. Are politicians listening?

We also explore Taiwan's low birth rate - is it a financial decision for young couples not to have children and get a pet instead?

Produced and presented by Ed Butler.
