To reverse our falling birth rate the way to do it is to look at countries that have succeeded and implement successful policies and to stop failed policies. Sweden birth rate used to be 1.1 now they raise it to 1.9 just slightly lower than 2.1 the replacement rate.



To succeed implement successful policies and stop putting in blame on individuals.

To succeed stop policies that are ineffective like giving tax incentives which goes to higher income who don't really need it and give this money to lower income who need the financial help to have more children. They continued this ineffective policy for so many yrs already resulting in misallocation.

The whole country is put into a vicious cycle of using low birth rate as reason to import people which pushes cost of living up and that pushes birth rate further down. The high stress of importing more people onto a small island which has highest human density among countries Is just making things worse.

We need leaders willing  to take up on the right long term path not towards failed polices and vicious cycles.

A lot of low income also give birth without subsidies lor (just look at certain race). It's not about income or subsidies lah.
