  • 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.
