〔記者高嘉和/台北報導〕貧富差距不用存摺、只要走進客廳?根據主計總處最新「家庭收支調查」,對比全台最高所得組(前20%)與最低所得組(後20%)家庭,普及率差距最大三樣設備依序是汽車、家用電腦與除濕機;普及率差距最小的除了彩色電視機與洗衣機等基本家電外,就是行動電話與連網設備,最低所得家庭手機與網路普及率都逾9成,台灣已達到數位平權社會。

台灣地小人稠,早在1996年家用汽車普及率就超過5成,2017年後普及率維持在60%至61%間。其中最高所得組的汽車普及率達95%以上,而最低所得組僅約39%至42%徘徊,兩者差距超過50個百分點,顯示汽車高單價與後續高昂的養護成本,的確是低所得家庭較難以跨越的門檻。

請繼續往下閱讀...

而家用電腦最高所得組普及率逾96%,而最低所得組僅約34%至43%,落差也達50個百分點以上,也顯示出進階的數位硬體設備仍有顯著的經濟門檻;較令人意外是「除濕機」,最高所得組普及率達65%至70%,最低所得組僅約40%至44%,低所得家庭似乎得優先滿足基本需求,透露出生活品質間的落差。

而彩色電視機、洗衣機,作為傳統基本家電,無論所得水準高低,普及率皆逼近98%至99%,幾無差距;行動電話(手機)即使是最低所得組,普及率也高達90%以上,最高所得組更是逼近100%,差距極小;連網設備(網路)最低所得家庭的網路普及率同樣高達91%以上,與最高所得家庭幾近齊平。

從手機與網路普及率差距極小來看,不管所得有多少,行動通訊與網路已成為人人必備的生存基石,台灣幾已達到「數位平權社會」,但家用電腦的巨大落差也提醒我們,低所得家庭可能僅依賴手機上網,缺乏適合進階學習與工作的電腦設備。

The number of newborns in Taiwan hits a new low. Scholar Zhang Dingxuan: High housing prices compress the desire to have children.

The number of newborns in Taiwan continues to hit bottom, with only 61,000 in the first eight months of this year, and the total population has been experiencing negative growth for 32 months. Zhang Dingxuan, an associate professor at Jingwen University, pointed out that high housing prices and rents have squeezed families' disposable income, leading to a decline in the birth rate. He criticized the government's countermeasures against low birthrates for not targeting the right treatment and for not being effective.
