From belting out pop songs to fielding hairstyle questions on Instagram, Taiwan's presidential hopefuls are increasingly turning their attention to young voters, who are expected to play a key role in the presidential and parliamentary elections.
The outcome of the closely watched January 2024 vote will set the tone for Taipei's tumultuous relationship with Beijing, which has refused to rule out forcibly seizing the island of 23 million even as the United States has pledged to defend it.
Taiwanese youth "cannot find good jobs, cannot afford to buy houses, do not dare to get married and do not want to have kids," Ko told a youth forum in August. "Being innovative is Taiwan's only solution." "My responsibility is to give hope to the young people. Only when the young people have hope does our country have hope," Lai told foreign media last week, when asked why young people were drifting from the DPP.for the presidency announced this week by Terry Guo, 72, the billionaire founder of major Apple supplier Foxconn, has further energised the race to win over voters.
Although voting data is sparse, Chen and other political watchers pointed to a survey by Taiwan's Central Election Commission showing that turnout of those 30 or younger rose by 15%-20% in 2020 compared with the previous two elections. The turnout for people aged 31 to 40 increased 10%-15%, the survey said.
Focusing on such issues may struggle to win over would-be voters such as Zheng De-wei, 25, a graduate student who said his friends are more concerned about getting by in an economy set to grow at its slowest pace in eight years.
