Introduction

Hi! We are from PeiCai Secondary School.
We are doing a project about the low birth rate in Singapore.
We have interviewed 9 people between 20-40 years old to find out more about the causes of low birth rate in Singapore. We also asked the people about their views on how Singapore can improve birth rate. Our blog will analyse the causes of low birth rate in singapore.

BackGround Information

Population:

Singapore occur a low birth rate as people now adays have higher education and  they might  choose  their career rather than married.And by the age they succed in their job,they will aready be in their 30s .and the chances to get pregnant most singaporen consider to have a small family ,as if they have a bigger family thay will need to use more money .so if they have a smaller family they can give the better education for their child .due to better hygiene,meidcal and health care.Old people are having longer live span.

Leseser childrens are born there might not be replacement for the elders  and hence Singapore is very concern about the low birth rate as if this continue the elderlies might need to extend their working life.
