Singapore oferă un stimulent de peste 50.000 de dolari pentru fiecare copil născut

Singapore is offering significant financial incentives to encourage childbirth amid a declining birth rate. The government provides nearly 70,000 Singapore dollars for each newborn, along with extended parental leave and housing support. The country faces a demographic crisis, with a birth rate of only 0.87 per woman, leading to an aging population. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong acknowledged that financial incentives alone may not reverse the trend, as many couples delay marriage and childbirth due to job market pressures. To address this, Singapore plans to combine family support with ongoing immigration.
