Reflections

Jolene:i think that the government should subsidy more for the childrens. The government should have more pity on students as they are getting more stress because of studies
Basirah:I think that firstly we cannot force them to have childrens but encourage them instead.We must understands their situation they are having.The gvernment should give more child bursary to the the family who are in needs.
terence: the government should provide more holidays for the students as they are having stress due to examination.

conclusion

In conclusion, the cause of having low birth rate in Singapore is due to having to much stress with their works and people are getting married late.so we think that the government should increase the pay of the employees and not make them so stress. Singapore should have natural resources.

Results & Analysis

Out of 6 people we interviewed 4 were married, 1 intends to get married and the other one does not want to get married . The one that does not want to get married is called Ms Ching and she's a career woman that wants to focus more on her career so she does not want to start a family .
The one that intends to get married is called Ms Ain , She intends to get married in 2 years time and she wants to have 2 children . Because she is afraid that her first child might be lonely . She wishes to have a girl and a boy so that the boy can continue the family line .

The four who are married , one of them is Mdm Melody , She has been married for four years , has two children and both of them are girls. She does not want to have more children because she is having finacial problems , she thinks that looking after the children is tiring , the cost of education and children's stuff are expensive . Lastly people in Singapore are very busy with their work .
The other one who is married is Ms Jessica and she has been married for eight years , having three children , two are boys and the other one is a girl . She does not plan to have more children in the future because she thinks that three children is enough for her family .

And the other two are Mrs Anna and Ms Christina , both are married for four years. Mrs Anna has 1 child and Ms Christina has 2 children .
