Zusammenfassung:This article presents a review of recent social survey findings on adolescent sexuality, fertility, and reproductive health in Taiwan. Increases in more liberal sexual attitudes and behavior as well as a high incidence of induced abortion from the 1980s to the 2000s are noted. The need for more education, both in and out of the school setting, is discussed, and recommendations made for a more adolescent-friendly approach.
