Singapore va oferi stimulente de peste 50.000 de dolari pentru fiecare copil născut

Singapore is offering families nearly SGD 70,000 for each newborn, alongside extended parental leave and housing support, in response to declining birth rates. Despite these financial incentives, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong acknowledged that they cannot reverse the demographic decline. The government is also focusing on controlled immigration as a necessary part of its demographic strategy, aiming to balance the aging population. Authorities estimate that in the next five years, they may grant between 25,000 and 30,000 new citizenships annually, while ensuring that Singaporeans remain the majority.
