Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Vikram Nair on addressing Singapore’s falling total fertility rate
Singapore’s total fertility rate (TFR) is at a historic low, for reasons that are common across developed countries. In developed nations that are doing better on TFR, there tends to be heavy socialisation of childcare-related costs. MP Vikram Nair said this in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), asking about the Singapore government’s plans to improve TFR and play a role in supporting the child-rearing process.
