Singaporeans are wealthier and more educated than before - and that has an impact on our total fertility rate.
CNA's weekly news podcast takes a deep dive into issues that people talk about at dining tables and along the office corridors. Hosted by Steven Chia and Crispina Robert.Singapore’s total fertility rate has fallen to a historic low of 0.97. Citizens aren’t having enough children to sustain population numbers and all the money spent to encourage procreation doesn’t seem to work.
Steven Chia and Crispina Robert talk about what’s causing the decline with Dr Norman Li, psychology professor at the Singapore Management University, and mother of one, Holly Fang.Dr Norman Li on the impact of a developed country on fertility: work takes a lot of time and then you need time to destress and to do other things ... Children still need a lot of time ... they require more time now because of this competitive world to get them ready .So now we're looking at making workplaces more family friendly, I think that's a good step, we have to look into more of the psychological factors . can control is to give a lot of bonuses and child support. It is doing all it can.
