Singapore initiates program to boost family growth
Singapore has launched a major financial support program aimed at increasing birth rates, which have experienced a sharp decline. In 2025, the country recorded its lowest-ever fertility rate at 0.87 children per woman, compared to 0.97 the previous year. The program includes providing up to 70,000 Singapore dollars to each family for every child born, distributed in stages until the child turns 17 years old. Additionally, it offers assistance for first-time homebuyers. The initiative aims to address the country's aging population while continuing to attract immigrants to maintain a stable population amid ongoing low birth rates.
