Singapore is rolling out a major new package aimed at making it easier and more affordable to raise children. The government says each Singaporean child will be eligible for almost S$70,000 (around $55,000) in support from birth through age 17, alongside expanded childcare leave, preschool subsidies and housing help. The measures come as the country’s fertility rate fell to a record-low 0.87 children per woman in 2025, well below the replacement rate of about 2.1. #singapore #news #birthrate #money
