Kopitime: Baby shortage spells trouble for Singapore

[cet87]

This type ah?

can cook and make sandwiches?

 

[enimen]

What if gov declare make as many babies we can and gov will hire people to nurture 4th baby onwards to adulthood? So no cost needed from family?

 

[kimsix]

More expensive and yet smaller housing is a big reason many stay DINKs or bbfa, add waiting times

and the gahment is the main culprit in this

160 media please stop the hippocreep reporting if you dont dare point out root causes

 

[otakuflick]

just import , ready to work
oh sorry , ready to give command

ft not stupid leh, instead, it's the biggest hammer down when we're in trouble. Every S$ they earned and cash out is the burden for the SG people.

 

[Alphas]

In the past, sinkies give birth like rabbits. This is due to the slow pace of life and the lack of desire for material possessions.

Now sinkies are chasing for branded goods and higher salaries that lead to stressful lifestyle. Birth rates decline as a consequence of this phenomenon. Pappies are indirectly responsible for the trend, increasing the cost of living by raising GST and taxes.

I got 3 kids and has done my part.

Ask Yr kids also push for 3 lo.

 

[econ food]

Those married faster go make more baby.

Maybe can arrange match making upon reach 18.. would any parents willing ? Lol

 

[dambio]

It's not a 1 day or 2 day issue. Authorities alr know it for yrs. They tried some measures but din work.

Just keep importing ready made children n adults to make tax dollars for them la.

They also dun care as they alr got their millions.

 

[notbuycable]

Because they do not need to.

Dunno why folk get annoyed

yes, I dont understand why people need to be annoyed of other's preferences in lifestyle, they want to be single, dink, etc, its none of your business

I don't think the government care too much since they can mass import new citizens into Singapore which they have been doing.

Our population have been steadily increasing despite the decreasing birth rate due to that.

This is the reason to want people to believe, the real reason is want parents keep poping out kids in order spend whole life working to support them.

There won't be any ending to this. Import X number to replace those baby boomers. Next time this X numbers will be old too and need even greater number of X + Y fts to replace. Big country maybe ok but for a small country like sinkieland??

If you have to ask, you’re better off staying here

Just open the flood gates man, no need talk so much.

Very happy to see squeezy mrt and busses. Frequency of breakdown due to higher wear and tear are increasing, but this is good as it creates more jobs.

Lol

 

[Shion]

it is easier to import

furthermore, the costs are too high

 

[ksapple]

A no work life balance
B no free ivf

Import cheaper anyway
