Solving low TFR is not easy

[trumperater]

If it is easy, at least one or more countries would have done so already despite throwing tons of money towards the problem and down the drain.

The biggest factor is probably the opportunity cost of having kids in today's society, especially in Asian's pressure cooker society.

When COL is so high such that we have to work so much longer just to afford housing of our own. When strong independent women decide that kids just ain't worth sacrificing their freedom for. When uncertainties exist in every fabric of today's society, how easily our jobs can be made redundant by AI or cheaper offshore options.

There is only so much a government can do to influence the macro-economics of a nation, group-think and factors that are beyond the reach of their hands. Things can only change if there is a big upheaval in the way things are run in the modern developed society. Many government in power won't risk it as it could be akin to shooting themselves in the foot. They will only do it if it crosses the point of no return, which by then could be too late already.

SG gahment is leetard

Cost of living is sky rocketing + jobs are now vanishing

Plus they keep on bashing & suppressing men while promoting females

Then now so many strong & independent females who despise local men

Who will these strong & independent females marry?? They marry each other?

The gahment ignore the crux of the issue and then set up what task force thinking throwing some monetary incentives can solve the issue

Really white eat mentality

majority of good jobs going to sinkie women and fts

sinkie men still need to serve ns, still need to do reservist.

youre right. then sinkie women cannot find sinkie men who are good enough for them cuz sinkie men kena nerfed 9696.

All remain single

Even those who are married, also scared to have kids due to high COL.

Solve all these issues first then talk about tfr. Our gahment really......smh

They have 40 years to solves it la. Don’t make it sound they they have being try hard
They choose to import and insist cost of living has nth to do with having children plus they move to BTO model which ppl have to wait years to get marry and have children
When ppl say baby bound not enough they insist it’s enough and it will not help
As usually they act like they know all and know best then cannot solve the problem then will start blaming Sinkie
65% mandate is the reason why they dare to behave this way
Consuming too much propaganda will rot your brain

@MoeLanYong disagrees boh?

 

[SpeedingBullet]

as long as govt refuses to acknowledge that COL is the main factor, they will never solve TFR

 

[wulu1_69]

Ask chatgpt for structural measures to improve tfr can liao, can tell you the garmen is unlikely to implement all of the reforms required

really cock to be assigning such an important role to someone not leading by example

I believe our leader is blind leading a blind

Our lifestyle created this condition.

We have no choice. We are always worried that we don't have enough for a comfortable lifestyle and/or emergencies.

So something have to give and that is not having children.

Govt policy on immigration and FT excerbate the low TFR. We cannot make children while compete with FW on lower wage and exodus of new singaporean.

Our cost of living cries are only answered with GST vouchers and the kind. Not real lasting step to the cost of living.

Many of us pinpoint COL as the main reason but govt say otherwise. Until they take steps, soon there is not much locals left.

Now my company restructuring last month just offshored 10% of jobs

I must be crazy if i want to have kids with this kind of stability

Yet all of these real issues our govt deem as an excuse with regards to the low tfr.

We are living it, they think it's a fairy tale.

And lest they forget, LKY used to boast our people as the only natural resources Singapore has.
