Is Taipei's economy the same as Kaohsiung's?

Same? Just give an example of long-term emphasis on the north over the south ~

The average wage in Kaohsiung is 3000 ~ 5000 lower than that in Taipei, and the relative living price is 10 ~ 20% lower than that in Taipei.

According to the data of recent years, the per capita carbon emission of Kaohsiung is as high as 22.3 1 metric ton, which is nearly 1 times higher than the average of Taiwan Province in recent years.

Up to 80% of them come from industrial emissions, so the air quality index is still the third lowest in Taiwan.

There is a sad joke that photographers have to wait until the sea breeze is strong enough to create dirty air.

You can't do it until it blows away.

Serious industrial pollution also makes Kaohsiung's life expectancy at the bottom of the five cities, only 78.6 years. At the same time, regardless of fertility rate,

The population growth rate is low, the youth unemployment rate is high, and it is also a relatively weak city among the five cities.

Kaohsiung "sacrificed for many years" but could not get the equivalent fiscal revenue, so it had to borrow money to build. It has been the king of local debt for several years in a row.

Most petrochemical plants in Taiwan Province Province are in Kaohsiung, but the head office is in Taipei, and all taxes are paid to Taipei. Therefore, when allocating funds,

Kaohsiung City is only about half that of Taipei City every year, resulting in the situation that "Taipei grants, pollution and work safety are left to Kaohsiung".

In this way, urban development has also hindered other industries from entering Kaohsiung, and heavy petrochemical industry has become the main work option for local residents.

The number of employees in Kaohsiung petrochemical industry is estimated to be as high as 200,000-300,000. In addition to the petrochemical industry, there are many grassroots workers without special skills.

And most of them are facing aging. Kaohsiung can hardly keep young people. After all, highly educated young people are rarely willing to work in heavy industry factories.

Under the vicious circle, startups are rarely willing to set up factories in Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung wants to develop cultural and creative industries, but the demographic structure and quality simply cannot support such a transformation.

Kaohsiung's economy can't be compared with Taipei's, but it is the inevitable result of long-term emphasis on the south and light on the north.
