Should we also “turn off the lights” to help boost Singapore’s low birth rate?
It seems that a low birth rate is unavoidable given the lack of Singapore’s natural resources as mentioned in an earlier post. Singapore has only humans. Our land is filled with buildings. Everyone has to work hard, be stressed, to maintain / increase our “productivity” as a country and ensure we get our bowls filled with rice through trade. A piece of land has limited nutrients and when too many plants try to thrive on the same plot of land, it is only normal that they all get weak and wither from all the competition. Perhaps it is only the rule of nature that we should stop procreation and take flight for other fertile grounds. Which is to say, turning off the lights is not likely to boost Singapore’s birth rate.
In order to increase Singapore’s low birth rate,I have many suggestions,not only turn off the lights in the offices once a month to encourage staffs go back home early to make more babies and also encourage more matchmaking companies to be formed:- 1.) we need to lower down our living standards,such as lower down the food prices in the whole world,so that the poor and the riches will not calculative in the food expenditures. 2.) increase our salaries and bonuses,so that every ones can maintain the cost of living standards. 3.) lower down everything,such as cost of foods,our daily use of water and electricity,our transports in bus fares,clothing,etc. will help to encourage more youth couples to give more births and will definitely increase the whole world’s low birth rate.
