Of the 7 people we interviewed, 5 were married while 2 were single with no intention of ever marrying and having children. Rise in the cost of living and difficulty finding time spend with their children were the most common reasons why Singaporeans decide to have a 1-2 or not to have any children at all. Some said the government should give more incentives and tax rebates to encourage childbearing.
