Singapore Pivots From Baby Incentives as Fertility Rate Hits Low​

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...om-baby-incentives-as-fertility-rate-hits-low

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said his government will focus on making life better for families and rely less on incentives to encourage citizens to have more babies, as the city-state grapples with a record-low fertility rate.

Wong acknowledged the limits of government efforts to reverse falling birth rates, a challenge confronting countries around the world.

The PAP keeps importing CECAs hoping that they will breed like rats after getting their pink NRIC, but SG is far too expensive for these Indians to do so.

Limit the education and employment opportunities of females, and in one generation your 'fertility' problem, and your 'ageing population' problem, will both be solved.

But you wouldn't do it, because you want to score woke DEI points, and you are scared of female (and libtard) voters revolting.

So, enjoy your slow but certain demographic and economic suicide. Immigrants will not help you. A.I robots will not save you.

Take a leaf out of Norway's book. Norway has a TFR of 1.44, way higher than ours (0.89), but in order to get back up to their pre-2010 level of 2.10, they have instituted the following measures. They already have a 37-hour work week, free daycare and preschool and grade school, and extensive cradle-to-grave welfare.

• Financial Incentives for Young Parents: To encourage starting families earlier, the government proposed an additional child benefit for parents under 30.
• Student Support: Proposals include increasing the parental grant for students by NOK 25,000 and reducing student loan debt by NOK 25,000 for each child born during studies.
• Extended Parental Leave: A recommendation to expand maternity and paternity leave up to 70 weeks at 70 percent pay (or 49-61 weeks at higher pay), to provide a more flexible start for parents.
• Guaranteed Daycare: Measures are being pushed to eliminate the stressful "gap" between the end of parental leave and the start of kindergarten by guaranteeing a spot the moment a child turns one.
• Work-Life Balance: The government plans to test shorter workdays for parents of young children and explore subsidies for household services (like cleaning) to relieve daily stress.

SG is one of the most expensive country jn the world (very high cost of living) results in very low tfr (0.89) proves the failure of the political system where the citizens have no hope for the future in this small island.
