Description

This book depicts the evolution of Singapore’s family and population landscape in the last half a century, the related public policies, and future challenges.

Since the country gained independence in 1965, family and population policies have been integral to her nation-building strategies.

The chapters discuss the changes in population compositions, family structures, relations, and values among major ethnic groups.

They also discuss policies for vulnerable populations such as female-headed households, cross-cultural families, same-sex partnering, the elderly, and low-income families.
