Singapore’s total fertility rate (TFR) is down to a historic low of 1.05. But the good news is that a recent survey shows that young single Singaporeans want children.
Eight in 10 aged between 21 and 35 polled say they want to marry and 77 per cent want children.
Dr. Gillian Koh, Deputy Director (Research) at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) which is part of the National University of Singapore shares her insights on the falling birth rate and what can be done about it.
