According to Taiwan media reports, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chimai said that he worked hard for four years. KMT Kaohsiung Mayor candidate Ke Zhien criticized that "the fewest people in Kaohsiung are young people", and the population structure proved that after Chen Chimai took office, 45,373 people were missing from the age group between 20 and 39 in Kaohsiung.

Ke Zhien said that she recently participated in two youth salons and had in-depth conversations with academic youth and social youth, from labor employment to new youth creation, these young people expressed their concern for her hometown, especially labor employment issues, including low wages, fewer job opportunities, too single industrial structure, and labor rights issues, so many young people can only "drift in Beijing" to find opportunities.
The Kaohsiung City Government said that the youth unemployment rate has been reduced and Ke Zhien emphasized that the Kaohsiung City Government is talking about data aged 15 to 24. For the 25-29-year-olds who have just graduated or worked for a few years, the unemployment rate is actually the highest in the "Six Capitals". She said: "If the difficulties faced by young people in Kaohsiung are not solved, they just want to find some beautiful numbers to promote internal publicity or discredit those who raise the problem. The problem is not only unsolvable, but may even be even more serious."
"In 2 years and 4 years, the fewest people in Kaohsiung are young people!" Ke Zhien said that from August 2020 when Mayor Chen Chimai took office to July 2022, the total population of Kaohsiung has decreased by 46,530. Among them, the age group aged 20 to 39 has dropped from 763,470 to 718,097, a total of 45,373 people.
Ke believes that in order to allow young people in Kaohsiung to return home without having to move to Beijing, in addition to improving the working environment, new youth creation is definitely the key. Taiwan’s new innovation regulations are relatively rigid, and many new innovation industries are restricted. It is necessary to establish a more friendly environment so that investors can trust.
Ke Zhien emphasized that in addition to providing relevant subsidies and tax incentives for Kaohsiung's new development, it is more important to create an environment suitable for investment and encourage competition, so that investors no longer just invest their funds in real estate, stocks and other markets, but to effectively encourage teams and young people with innovative capacity.
