Geography Project

Introduction:.We are from Peicai Secondary 2C. We are doing a survey about why singaporeans are not giving birth? we manage to interview 8 people and I would like to ask some question concerning your views on giving birth in Singapore.



Methodology: We  manage to interview 8 people outside Serangoon Central. We interviewed 8 people in pairs. we interviewed people above the age of 20 to 50.



We asked the followings question:
  1. Are you married? if yes, how long have you been married?
  2. If you have less then 3 childrens, what is stopping you from having more than more 2 childrens?
  3. Why do you think people in singapore are not giving birth
  4. Why do you want to have children? If you dont, why not?
  5. Compare with other countries EG. In australia, both parent share 18 months of paid maternity leave. Do you think it's a good idea for Singapore?Why?


Results&Analysis:We interviewed 8 people, 2 were married for at least 4 years, 4 were still single looking, one was getting married soon, and the other one did not want to get as she was a career woman. out of 8 people we interviewed, only 3 people want to have more than 3 children, the other 2 want to have only one children as they said the second one would be very troublesome, the other 2 didn't want to have any children at all.




Conclusion:
In conclusion,  We found out that there were fewer people who wanted to have more than 1 children,as they are afraid of the high amount of money needed to raise up a second child. Some say that it is too troublesome, as the first one already given them a lot of trouble. Due to the high amount of money needed for 1-3 children,many people would rather not have a child or stay single. The government can give high maternity leave to encourage people to have children.
