There is slways alot of talk but never get to root of the problem.

The reason for low fertility is in spite of low fertility the pap govt increase population density by importing people this is what worsened the problem.

We can try 101 things s and never solve the problem because govt simply refuse to recognise the root cause of the problem.

Because you will lose your physical freedom and financial freedom.

Also there is a potential "world war" between siblings or children with parents, etc. Very good case is the oxleygate.

baby bonus are peanuts, it will not work.

if a new govt provides 50% cheaper BTO flats and free education (for your kids up to university level), will you have kids ?
you must have kids first before you can qualify.

Quote:. But with soaring inflation and the current economic difficulty, having children may not always be on top of their list. After all, the average cost of having a baby in Singapore can easily go into the tens of thousands, expanding a family unit without healthy reserve funds may seem imprudent.

current era

ask not what you can do for your nation

ask what can your nation provide you in return

none other than

CONGESTION
INFESTATION

look around you

aplenty vehicles on the road?

aplenty non-native speakers around you?

never fall into PAP's traps

economic growth
GDP
at all costs

for better bonuses/benefits for themselves

even at the expense of your
mental wellbeing & livelihood

child is best brought up away from this land of greed

Govt is not stupid. They know the reasons but can't do anything about it. We've reached the point of no return.

Perhaps too late but
Free 12 years education 
more holidays for family gathering
can soften the situation

and also maybe marry a maid can solved  Rotfl

It's no use having children for the sake of having children. 
Love is the most important ingredient.

I say so many times give monies feed children all the way until they come out and work lar. Baby bonus one off is not enough. Children expenses are huge depend how you want to raise them up. Tuition CCA and if sway need see doctor add up cost is huge! Monies is the issue. But if expect children to be cleaner plumber electrician technician mechanic etc then the current baby bonus can take a gamble.

"The question is, why do I need to have a kid? And if I cannot answer that, I don't think it's right to have a kid born into this world."

PAP proved to us that we should not have children

Just imagine 45 years -old having mid- life crisis

and jobless/ under- employed with children depending on you

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 87 PAP Ministers?

This is true. Know of many friends and relatives have difficulties getting a new job after being retrenched at 40+ years old. And their children are still in secondary school.

CECA is the silver bullet to all issues! Just let in more CECA and they can bring in their rape culture to populate this island one way or another. Solved.
