She noted that the issue is a multifaceted one, requiring enhanced government support across life stages. With one top concern of couples being having a home of their own with sufficient space, she suggested refining HDB priority schemes. She also called for more support for couples facing conception difficulties and continued support for the continuous career progression of working parents, especially mothers.
