Singapore's Shocking Birthrate Decline

Singapore has been experiencing a declining birth rate which could potentially affect all of us
in the near future. This includes our ageing population, who will suffer a great deal
as they may not receive enough support.

We understand that having a larger family means more mouths to feed, so some families are deterred from having more than one child, afraid of the expenses from the upbringing of the children.
"Say Yes to Kids!" was created to aid these families all in one site, to inform and educate of our nation's policies that can help them cope with the rising expenses of everyday needs.

Recently in the news this year (2016), some secondary schools have no intake of Secondary 1 students due to falling cohort numbers and less student posted to schools, that means less need for large amount of teachers. If this trend keeps up, less children mean lesser employees needed in any school, be it Kindergarten or Polytechnic. This may even spread to the rest of the workforce outside the education industry, as there will be not enough adults to support the nation's economy and ageing population.
