Singapore initiates large family support program
Singapore has launched a comprehensive program to support families in an effort to boost birth rates. The government has pledged to pay over $55,000 for each child, including payments at birth and for education, to encourage families to have more children. This initiative comes amid a declining fertility rate, which reached 0.87 children per woman in 2025—well below the replacement level of 2.1—posing risks of an aging society and a lack of future population stability. In addition to financial support, the government facilitates home purchases for families and continues its policies to attract migrants in order to maintain a balanced population.
