Now, one elderly person is supported by 9 working persons. But by 2030 or so, it will drop down to just 4 working persons. Isn't it reason enough for the government to think its imperative to take some kind of action to prevent such a situation. The government is learning the lessons from Japan, a country also having an ageing population. <br /><br />Singapore government is very ingelligent, i tell you. A few months ago it gave citizenships to a lot of foreign immigrants and faster permanent residency. And now it has increased the tax from 5% to 7%! It's going to rise to 8% soon, in the coming few years. <br /><br />You are talking in a global perspective. I'm talking about in a Singaporean perspective. But i'm not saying that you're wrong.Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604638873594064537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27470174.post-35159627631108452182006-11-16T13:47:00.000+08:002006-11-16T13:47:00.000+08:00i think so too.

Should Singapore (and other countries) should improve its fertility rate? If so, why? Is there a good reason for maintaining the population of a metropolitan people whose culture is quite mixed and in no danger of dying altogether (because it's mixed anyway), when the Earth's population is set to rise from 6 billion to 9 billion in the next 50 years?<br />Low all these alarmist views of low fertility rates don't make sense beyond that country's perspective. But on a global level, it's not that serious problem at all. In fact the Earth is going to be strangled to death because of high overall fertility rates:p.Suresh EThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634417697318636500noreply@blogger.com
