Singapore's fertility rate dropped from 1.8 in 1990 to a low of 1.0 in 2022, one of the lowest globally. This decline reflects the city-state's rapid modernization, high cost of living, and evolving cultural attitudes toward family size.
Despite government incentives such as financial grants and parental leave policies, the rate has not significantly rebounded, underscoring structural challenges in reversing demographic trends within a high-pressure urban environment.
