Why did Singapore switch population policy from anti- to pro - natalist?

- The government introduced an anti-natal policy to try to reduce this. It did this by:
Making contraceptives available at a low cost.
Creating family planning clinics to help make advice more available.
Publishing through the media the advantages of having a smaller family.
Introducing financial incentives for smaller families (such as free education and health care benefits). The financial support stopped with larger families.
- The impact of the policy:
The fertility rate has dropped to 1.2 in 2011.
There were insufficient workers to fill job vacancies because of the decrease in the birth rate.
Singapore has an ageing population.
The change in the birth rate was more dramatic because it was also caused by the increasing development of Singapore, meaning that more women followed careers rather than starting a family. This meant the birth rate fell because of factors not directly because of the policy.
