I just wonder will Singapore adopt this kind of smartness?
Sometimes thinking of the situation here just saddens me.
Singaporeans are too comfortable with their lives, so much so that manual labor and physical work are deemed low class and 'unfit' for Singaporeans as 'ideal' jobs.
The society here is also degrading. The answer to why our population is shrinking can be traced to 1 root cause. Let's analyze...
- Girls at very young age are told the 'excel' in their studies.
- They re-prioritize. Studies is important, so that in future can get high paid job.
- Primary -> Secondary -> 'A' levels/Diploma -> Bachelors -> Masters -> PHD...
- Due to the high cost of living, wanna provide for family therefore working becomes priority.
- Because now women can stand on their own feet with good education and good career, eventually they don't need men.
- Subsequently they realize they don't need men to provide for them anymore, there's no need for women to rely on men to bring the bread home etc.
- Evolution, therefore thinks like men and starts behaving like men.
- The rest of the story? Population shrinks and age.
Well, it's my theory.
To counter this? Follow what other countries are doing!
Acknowledge that home-schooling and bringing up children are important!
Part of Singapore's 'total defence', socially stay-home men and women are PAID monthly to home-school or raise their own children.
This way, the so called high cost of living is lessen because the government is actually giving the families a leeway or avenue to become a full-time housewife/husband. Obviously we're not talking about cheats in the system whereby both spouse work and leave the mother or in-law to take care of the children.
I don't understand why so many countries are adopting this system yet Singapore is not?
I'm not trying to be a MCP or what, I don't mind being a househusband, in fact I think it's very relaxing to stay home to do housework, take care of the children, cook, doing what every mother and father will want to do and maybe just live on $800 a month? The rest of the income can just come from 1 spouse, man or woman doesn't matter.
Well, after all said and done, I guess Singaporean's mentality just cannot make it... Sad...
