Due to the impact of declining birth rate and the impact of the epidemic, the population of Taipei City fell below 2.5 million last year, which resulted in the reduction of the three deputy mayors and the three deputy secretary-generals in the original establishment of the Taipei City Government. Many people return to Taiwan and have the opportunity to restore their household registration. By the end of February and early March, the number of people is expected to exceed 2.5 million again.
