In the end, most of the results are the same. We have interviewed 4 people who haven't given birth and 6 people who have given birth.
Most of the people who hadn't given birth confessed that it is expensive raising up more than 1 child and work is stopping them from giving birth. The thought of giving birth gives the pressure as they thought of the responsibilities and the price of raising the child etc. One of the people that we have interviewed, told us that it was due to space constrain & money. Recently, she had given birth to one child and she cost of the baby's essential items cost almost up to $1000. Nowadays Singaporeans are more highly educated and mostly care about their appearances, work, money and they complained that they had no time to take care of their babies.
They want to have children is because it makes the family more complete and lively and they can play with the baby. Also, they want their adorable children to take care of them when they grow old.
If Singapore continues to have a low birth rate, there will be more elderly than youngsters. As a result, no young people can take care of the elderly thus technology can't advance. The government don’t want to make the people pay more taxes. And people is the only natural resources in our country. Not only will we have less local if our country population will shrink.In the end, government need to rely more on the foreigners.
The only thing they wish the government could give is MONEY ($), MORE HOLIDAYS(Up to 1 month), subsidy for child care centre and priority for housing for big families so that they can take good care of their wife during the holidays.
