Constructing a Robust Social Safety Net
To cooperate with the policy of caring for the economically disadvantaged and given the rapid ageing population in Taiwan, there is an urgent need for the widespread adoption of basic insurance for the elderly. Chunghwa Post launched the Accident Microinsurance Rider and An-xin Whole Life Insurance in 2014 and 2017 respectively to assist the government in constructing a robust social safety net. In addition, revisions are made in accordance with relevant regulations of the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), and the insurance eligibility criteria are gradually loosened to enable more people to obtain basic coverage at lower thresholds. In 2024, the proportion of premium income in the first year of protection-type and elderly insurance products accounted for 99.85%.
