Some infomation about Taiwan provided by Christie:

Taiwan's population and income structure. Taiwan is already an elderly society, with the elderly population (>= 65 years old) surpassed the younger population (=<14 years old) in early 2017. In 2005, the % of younger population to total population was 18.7% while that for the elderly population was 9.7%. In 2016, the number was 13.3% and 13.2%. respectively.

For income, household average annual disposable income (income after tax and required social welfare spending) was 993k NTD in 2016. That for lowest 20% of household was 329K. Income distribution for the past 10 years looks quite stable.

Poor population is defined as monthly living expense fall below the local government standard, which is updated from time to time. For Taipei City, that number is currently at 15k NTD. (http://bit.ly/2GnMz6r)

• Evidence of effectiveness
  We seek out charities implementing programs that have been studied rigorously and ideally repeatedly, and whose benefits we can reasonably expect to generalize to large populations, though there are limits to the generalizability of any study results.
• Cost-effectiveness.
  We attempt to estimate figures such as the total "cost per life saved" or "cost per total economic benefit to others, normalized by base income" for each of the charities we consider.
• Room for more funding.
  Our top charities receive a substantial number of donations as a result of our recommendation. We ask, "What will additional funds — beyond what a charity would raise without our recommendation — enable, and what is the value of these activities?"
• Transparency.
  We examine potential top charities thoroughly and skeptically. Charities must be open to our intensive investigation process — and public discussion of their track record and progress, both the good and the bad — in order to earn "top charity" status.
