Abstract

In recent years there has been a great deal of news coverage on “foreign brides” and “China brides” in the Taiwanese media outlets. The news stories have described recent trends in interethnic marriages in Taiwan. “Foreign brides,” their husbands, and their children now make up an important family form in Taiwan. The growing proportion of female marriage immigrants could well result in societal changes in Taiwan. The phenomenon of “foreign brides” also has an important demographic implication, namely, their numbers can increase two important parts of the population balance equation: the fertility rate, and the number of immigrants.
