  1. Singapore’s Population Policy By Kristina

  2. Pro-natalist

  3. Pro-natalist • People are the most precious resource of Singapore • Effort, drive and talent of Singaporeans made the country what it is now • Although Singapore has no natural resources, it’s a thriving and modern economy thanks to the people

  4. Singapore • 4.8 million people • 685 square km • Population density 7,742 people per square km- among the highest in the world • Birth rate- 11 births per 1000 people • Death rate- 5 deaths per 1000 people • Population is ageing

  5. During 1960, when Singapore became independent, the rapidly rising population was causing concern. • People migrating from China, Malaysia and India • Anti-natalist government policy of ‘stop-at-two’ was introduced • Policy was successful- growth falling below replacement level

  6. New Population Policy • New Population Policy (pro-natalist) was introduced in 1987 • Target- young couples who were choosing career and personal interests above marriage and parenthood • Posters- ‘Children- Life would be empty without them’ and ‘Now that you’ve married, take the next step’

  7. Aim of New Population Policy- increase fertility rate to 2.1 • 1986- fertility rate 1.4 • 1988- fertility rate 2.0

  8. New Population Policy targets intellectually talented people • University graduates are encouraged to have 4 children instead of 2 • Immigration of well-educated people is encouraged • Emigration of university graduates is discouraged
