1 Child Policy (YueSan)

Singapore does not enforce the one child policy, in contrast, encourages a larger family. However, Singapore will be soon facing a "silver tsunami" if the birth rates do not pick up. Firstly, many young couples do not wish to have children when they are younger, but by the time they wish to do so, the natural fertility of the body goes down and they fail to conceive. Secondly, the life expectancy of humans has been prolonged by advancements in medicine, but this means that more elderly last longer, and their children have to support them, causing a burden to them.  Lastly, there are more singles nowadays who simply do not wish to marry or have children at all, exacerbating the problem.
