The recent moves by the government to promote population growth
were to basically broadcast advertisements on television. Apart
from possibly giving raising a few eyebrows, i doubt this has
brought any real impact on Singaporean's opinions on having
babies.
The MAIN reason why
Singaporeans refuse to have Children are:
1.Cost
2.Time
The current ideas for Malaysia to impose GST on it's citizens
made me think, what if Singapore made some adjustments to it's own
GST system as well.
Why not remove GST for Baby products, e.g.diapers and milk
powders?
This will definitely go a long way into reducing the immense burden
of cost Children have on potential parents.
Pros:
1.Lowered costs, more people are willing to have children
Cons:
2.Implentations problems: Supermarkets are gonna have increased
administrative costs
Anyone has further ideas to improve on our current population
policies feel free to give your opinions
