KEY POINTS
  • Singapore’s birth rate hit a record low in 2022, after years of consistent decline.
  • The biggest reason for this shift is how notoriously expensive it is to live in Singapore, and the high cost of living continues to steer many away from expanding their family, analysts told CNBC.
  • Although there are a slew of government policies aimed at encouraging more couples to have children, “throwing money” at the problem will not solve it, said Wen Wei Tan, analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The sinkie couple has to spend 20 years or longer to pay up a tiny pigeon hole size BTO flat, on top of the risk being displaced by faked CECA Indian talents, so not to have baby or babies, no point bringing the baby to this sindiapore to suffer

I heard orphans were dumped at the convent (now CHIJMES) and the Catholic nuns there would breastfeed them. :unsure:

It's Catch-22. Without babies, there will be no new batch of Sinkies for the PAP technocrats to squeeze dry via a thousand ways, no business for the cronies e.g. early childhood education. Especially male babies.. more NS slaves to feed the SAF. :biggrin:

They hardly throw any $. Other countries in Europe give 36 months maternity leave to be shared between father and mother.

Give child allowance €250/kid til kid 25 yr old, and health insurance for whole family.

What Singapore govt give is peanuts
