Hi Everyone,
there was an increase in percentage of Singaporeans still single and not married. This increase of percentage have worried Singapore Government in the future of Singaporeans that there will be an increase rate of elderly in the future staying alone or depend on one self.
Other than the single issue, the birth rate is decreasing and even married couple will only want to have one child. In the future, the working adults will work extra hard to sustain the increasing of elderly as the ratio of the working adults to the elderly will be 1:5 or increasing.
What is the cause of these two issues? Do give some views about it!
And that smells like speakers corner

the social direction would backfire on itself....

Kindly ask your parents. They will know the answer
Policies, cost of living and girls being more educated aside. I think another factor to consider is that the current generation are more self-centered. They won't want to burden themselves by starting a family as this means the lost of freedom. I myself cant imagine being tied down by family obligations, my parents are enough
Many women chose to rot, common in HK.
But how come I can still see many people at my school campus (including my classmates) holding hand together......

When I walk the correct direction to the class & vice versa (going home), I never fail to see them doing so.
The same goes to taking. Try to take buses during off-peak time, you can see them 'qin re' without a fail.
Wonder why they can still start the relationship despite having school works and UTs. But surprisingly, they do not neglect their studies though.

believe they know how to strike a balance though, since 16 years old is no longer young.
Just like the marigold ad: Balance is the key to perfection.

Because they have not started working in the real world. And when the money issue comes into play, hurhurhur another different story.

girls should not be educated and YOU SHOULD BE ERADICATED.
This world will function better without someone like you.

Ask how many mediacorp artistes still prefer to stay single.
Some of former artistes prefer to divorce though.
