Taiwan: A Demographic Case Study
DeAnna L. Gore1
Geography Teacher, v22 n1 p9-15 2025
This lesson plan will illustrate how Taiwan can be used as a case study in an undergraduate human geography, population geography, or demography course. Incorporating Taiwan within the curriculum can equip students with a deep understanding of demographic concepts, specifically as it relates to the demographic trends in Taiwan. Through in-depth analysis, students can gain insights into the complex interactions between economic development, political dynamics, social change, and demographic outcomes, offering valuable lessons for population policies. Taiwan can also be used as a case study in a human or cultural geography course when addressing cities and urbanization, agriculture and food, religion, political geography, and Indigenous populations.
