Answer:

The population in Taiwan is increasing every year. Now, it might over 23 million people in Taiwan. The problem could happen is the limited spaces to live. As we know, Taiwan is a small island that not as big as Canada or America. (Only 35,980 sq km).

3. Has there been a significant population shift in your country from rural areas to urban areas? If yes, what are the consequences?

Answer:

Yes, we have this issue! As I mentioned before, when there is no spaces to live in the cities or some rural areas, people will move to somewhere outside the crowd and cause "Urban sprawl"! The consequences, of course, our environment would be destroyed and government has to speed huge proportion of country's finance on building public services such as schools and hospital.
