The biggest reason for this shift is how notoriously expensive it is to live in Singapore, and the high cost of living continues to steer many away from expanding their family, analysts told CNBC.

Almost two decades ago, Loh and her husband made a decision not to have children.

Today, 17 years later, the two of them are convinced they made the right choice.

“I may feel differently when I’m on my deathbed and have to die alone, but at the moment, the choice seems right to us,” said the 46-year-old who works in the tech industry.

Loh, who did not want to give her full name, is not alone

The biggest cause of this is "educating women".

However, it would be unfair to not send girls to school.  So there is no easy solution.

Society needs women to be mothers, the hand which brings up the next generation, which rocks the cradle. The role of mothers had been highly appreciated for why else were so many songs composed in praise of mothers, and why we - the older generation - saw mothers as someone who is so special?

Educating women changed all that.  Women don't want to look after kids.  You bring up two men, one with a kkj, one without, but the latter is still a mam, as you brought her up to be.  What happens in Singapore will lead to the extinction of the human race if this is also happening in every country in the world.
