Population Policies and Programmes in Singapore

by Saw Swee-Hock
Population Policies and Programmes in Singapore - Thryft
Population Policies and Programmes in Singapore - Thryft

Singapore's governmental journey in population control.

If you're intrigued by public policy or demographic studies, "Population Policies and Programmes in Singapore" offers a deep dive into the way a government can steer population growth through strategic initiatives. It's an expansive case study reflecting the challenges and responses of a nation facing below-replacement fertility rates. By detailing Singapore's approach, the book provides a useful framework for understanding similar issues in other contexts.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Population Policies and Programmes in Singapore presents a comprehensive account of the government's initiatives to influence the course of fertility, and hence the rate of population growth, in the island state of Singapore since the 1950s. The book may be viewed as a case study of the public policy of a country in the area of population with regard to fertility and population growth. The fundamental population issue of low below-replacement fertility, coupled with its adverse consequences, is discussed. More specifically, the book is a convenient source of detailed information on all the existing pronatalist incentives, financial or otherwise.
