Singapore fertility rate drops to record low
Singapore - Singapore's fertility rate dropped to a record low last year, official statistics showed Wednesday, leaving the city-state still dependent on immigrants to sustain its working population levels.
Singapore's resident fertility rate declined to 1.15 last year, down from the previous low of 1.22 in 2009, the Singapore Statistics department said in its population report.
The rate was even lower, at 1.02, for the dominant ethnic Chinese population, said the report.
The figures represent the average number of live-births each female would have during her reproductive years, given the birth rates recorded during the given time frame.
Singapore has struggled to boost low birth rates for years, but has so far not come close to the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman.
Singapore leaders have repeatedly said the city-state had to continue bringing in foreigners to address demographic challenges and keep its economy going.
The influx of foreigners has become a concern amid increasing competition for housing and jobs, despite assurances that the government will put Singaporeans first.
The island's population stood at 5.18 million through June, with 3.8 million citizens and 1.4 million non-resident foreigners, the report said.
Of the permanent residents, ethnic Chinese formed the majority at 74 per cent, followed by Malays with 13 per cent and Indians with 9.2 per cent, it said.
Seems like PAP's policies as a whole leads to a demographically unsustainable society.And that idiot Lee Kuan Yew still pushed for his moronic "stop at 2" policy to make matters worse.

Nobody wants to give birth.
Cost of bring up a kid is huge.

And now, the family working structure has shifted from one working parent to two working parents, so there is a gap in the task of someone bringing up the children.

A lot of propaganda in PAP state media these few days trying to sell the policy of importing more and more aliens into Singapore.
New channel 8 propaganda drama at 9pm, a chinese documentary on aliens in Singapore and now this fertility shit data to sell the same shit to Singaporeans.
All of the propaganda is coming out now, fast and furious.
But PAP, in the end, I still want you to die.
You don't even dream that bombard a few fuck shit propaganda can change my mind.
You dream also don't go and dream.

I want this, I want that, I want all of them. All (that) I want. Ik ben niet genoeg. I am not satisfied with this and that, No surprise that fertility rates drop.
That applies to both men and women. -

no. not only that, its expensive to raise a child also. baby bonus also is not enough.
if government wants to have more married and give birth, give incentives such as free education from kindergarden to secondary school. also government to pay for stay at hospital for giving birth. increase baby bonus to 10k. guarantee you there will be more people getting married and more children borned.
of course there will be costs to the government, but really no choice lor. if you want to have more get married or give birth, you have to give people carrot and pay for it.

we all know the problem. and we knew they choose the easy way out to 'solving; the probelm. they should look at why people don;t marry, don;t give birth, instead of pumping in aliens, artificially to replace sgreans. the loyalty will never be there, unlike the old days when our ancestors stayed and build sg to what we are today. casinoes to boot tourism and economy, so the son can have a good report card

I think the problem won't be so bad if Lee Kuan Yew did not push for his "stop at 2" shit plan in the 70s.
Pathetic idiot, that old banana.

Lee Kuan Yew refused to admit his errors, only know how to blame others for not getting married.
