A reversal of fertility trends in Singapore
J Biosoc Sci.
1991 Jan.
Abstract
Free access to contraception and effective legislation measures, have resulted in a decline in fertility in Singapore. A new population policy of 'three children or more if you can afford it' was therefore introduced in 1986. This paper discusses the new population policies and measures their effect on fertility in Singapore.
