New Initiatives from the Singapore Government

Recently Singapore Government has announced to look into the declining birth rates of babies. We Singaporeans are encouraged to make more babies.

I am expressing my view.

Concerns of having more babies.
- Current Economic environment is very competitive
- Bringing up a child in the 21st Century is different, back then it was only to put food on the table and live day by day which is more than enough. Back then a lot of unpredictability. After the World War 2 in 1945, many people start to rebuild their lives and there come the industrial age. Singapore has come a long way since from then. From industrial to informative and now to creation.
- Time to take care of the babies and nurture them just like playing online RPG, if you don't nurture your character, it stays where it is and there's no development. Time is of utmost importance for taking care of a child from birth till 12 years. I say that as during 13th onwards in Secondary school, the child more or less has their own ideology and social norms
- In total 12 years of time to commit and develop a child.
- No blue print for parents to follow (Having a blue print makes first time parents in the creation Age (21st Century) easier. It can be in the form of categorization. I'm thinking in terms of the child in achieving their potential with taking into consideration of the parent's affordability. Of course this is just what i think. Need to formulate a plan and to stick with it. Except for a few, i'm guessing that most people in Singapore don't have a plan for taking care of kids. Maybe most have the economic aspect of it but most don't have any formulation plan for developing a child. Maybe the government can take that into consideration. Considering having a blue print structure and every 4 years the structure evolve and people adapt to it.
- Education in sex for the new Generation. Teaching them concepts on the pleasure and joys of having sex but not pre-marriage sex of course.
- Government Concept of having a subsidized housing only when you are married or going to be married. Some People will never budget for that unless marriage looms and even before marriage looms. By that time, couples save up for their marriage and delay in having babies as they do not have a roof over their top. I would say that for people who are married and staying apart, the Government can do the part of renting HDB flats out to these couples until they have saved up for BTO or Resale flat or consider giving me more rebates to Couples that are starting out.
- Affordable day care and child care centers. This will definitely help couples to decide having babies. However Budgeting for it is another story.

In summary i would propose the Government to come up with a simple Blueprint for Parents to have babies, to develop babies. This would definitely help for first time Parents. After all we are living in the Creation Age of the 21st Century.
