My father has slightly less than 5 siblings, and my mother has 3 siblings.
This phrasing is kind of strange - slightly less than 5 would just be 4, wouldn't it? As you can't really have 0.5 of a person.
I recommend using either 5 and 3 or five and three.
The idea that having many children increases the number of people that can help out at the farm is a relic from the past.
In the past, it was an agricultural society in Taiwan and farming relied on labour. In the past, it was an agricultural society in Taiwan and farming relied on labour.
More natural phrasing: "In the past, Taiwan was an agricultural society, and farming relied more on physical labour."
Physical labour as opposed to the machines that are used nowadays.
I added "more" as there is certainly plenty of physical labour in farming nowadays too, though I suppose that is a bit of a nitpicky correction.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are engageding in agriculture.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are engaging in agriculture.
The sentence works OK as you have written it, but I think switching to a present tense would sound even better.
