Government in Singapore promoted sterilisation and fertility rate was never restored

Government in Singapore promoted sterilisation and fertility rate was never restored

During the 70s the Singaporean government encouraged women, especially the uneducated ones, to get sterilised following their second child, as in 1960 the birth rate was 5,4, which was considered high.

Indeed, the fertility rate dropped to 1,44 and it was then when the government decided to reverse its policy in favour of fertility.

However, the fertility rate has never restored back to replacement levels since.
