SRS was used/consumed by paying PAP Kindergarden (and is the most affordable available) school fees. Heck, the little lad have not even entered PRIMARY SCHOOL!Originally posted by Not4rent:not feasible. the returns are not immediate unlike giving our singapore shares and ERS
The problems quoted are loss of billions of dollars, ageing issues in 20 years times, need foreign talent, blah blah blah blah.
I am proposing an immediate solution to a long term problem. Who needs immediate return? Who?
To be a father, is the best thing to happen in my life. (So far) -
so, to support the next lot of aging population, we have 10 million people in singapore?
-
Did I say 10 million? Not all will have 4 children like me. But we need a 2.1 ratio, at least!Originally posted by the Bear:so, to support the next lot of aging population, we have 10 million people in singapore? -
Thanks, you are saying it will have a BIG impact and will work! Thanks!Originally posted by the Bear:so, to support the next lot of aging population, we have 10 million people in singapore?
Btw, did I say 10 million? Not all will have 4 children like me.

then you doom your children..
seriously...
doesn't anyone read the science papers? or watch the documentaries?
we run out of resources in a generation if we keep up our population growth...
then, read about Easter Island... only, that will happen on a global scale..
10 million.. because when it was 2 million, they said 2.5.. when 2.5 was reached, it was 4.. next would be 6... how long was it when we were 2.5 million people in singapore?
when your children probably reach the age of majority, they may be looking at 10 million or more..Originally posted by rojak12:Did I say 10 million? Not all will have 4 children like me. But we need a 2.1 ratio, at least! -
lets take it one step at a time.

Free this must up something. If you don't up tax, then what do you to suggest to increase? -
actually i've always wondered if there really if a problem.will we reach equilibrium once again after the present batch of relatively over populated elders die off

I am proposing to solve a long term problem. Since not having enough babies are causing so much loss of $$$ and social related issues which in terms costs $$$, by solving this, there will be a BIG BIG PROFIT in the end!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Tax who pay first?

How is the cost of education being arrived? If you pay a tuition fees of 10K per year and the course size is 500, are you saying to run that particular course for 1 year, it will need $5 000 000? Think about it lah. $ 5 million for 1 year, $20 million for 4 years. If really so expensive, I want to see how these numbers are arrived.
If whenever a proposed solution comes up and someone says who pay, up tax etc, then we go back to the original equations. Pay and pay, work very hard, no time, no baby. -
Thanks, you are saying it will work. Thanks.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Tax who pay first?

As for who pays, who do you think should pay? You mean, GST, COE, Transport, Utilities, Housing(Leasehold somemore), company tax, etc, IRs, still not enough?
By setting up high level committees, advert, campaign, baby bonus, survery etc, these are free meh? And what is the impact? -
Explanation?Originally posted by Tizi Melissa Othman:cut cost -
increasing the population is to sell the future in order to buy the present..
but then, who's listening to good sense? -
Of course.Originally posted by the Bear:so, to support the next lot of aging population, we have 10 million people in singapore?
And another 20 million to support the 10 million when they grow old. -
Cannot. Whatever proposed solution cannot add any pressure to social related issues (single and young parent etc). Remember, the family is the basic building block of any society.Originally posted by ditzy:Banish abortion.
Look at USA. Their biggest cost is social problem, not military spending or defence budget.
We need to lower the cost of bring up children and education is one of the big piece, if not, the biggest. -

I think you don't realise the exact meaning and impact of a country population replacement ratio. We are talking about social related issue if birth rate stays this way.Originally posted by the Bear:then you doom your children..

and i'm talking about the extinction of a planet if this increasing of population and stripmining of the planet to feed the population stays this way...Originally posted by rojak12:I think you don't realise the exact meaning and impact of a country population replacement ratio.

But even a 6 year old kid understands that there is only so much food you can pile up on your plate at a buffet before your salmon and prawns fall off.
