Survey:Low birth rates in Singapore

Introduction
Our project is to find out what Singaporeans think about Singapore's low birth rate. We are trying to find out,is it true Singaporeans are not giving birth,what is stopping them from having more than 1-2 children,what do you think the government is so concern about having a low birth rate. We had interviewed a total of 5 people,aged between the 20-60.

Methodology
-Are you married ?
-How many children do you have? (if married)
-How many children do you intend to have?
-Why do you want only that amount of children?
-Why do you want to have children?
-In future how many children do you plan to have? (optional)
-What do you think can happen if Singapore continues to have low birth rate?
-Do you intend to have children? (optional)

Result & Analysis
Summary:
5 people we interview are married most of them wanted 3 children, but most of them stopped at 2.They wanted children because it can help to carry on their family's name, have companion and can take care of them in the future.They only wanted this amount of children because either they don't have enough money to support them or not enough time to give them the attention they need.

What will happen if Singapore continue to have low birth rates ? That was the question asked and the answer we get was There will be lots of senior citizen in Singapore, not enough people to support the country and it will not be balanced

Details:
Mr Zalim is married. His a father of 3 daughter. Intend to have 3 children,2boys 1girl. He said that he only want 3 children not more because of economic control. Nowadays,things getting higher. Having children is for generation. If Singapore happen to continue having low birth rate,a lot of senior citizen will there be.

Mr Zack is married . He is a father of one son. Intend to have 3children He said that he only want three children because he want to have companion, and he say that one lonely , two just nice , three crowded If Singapore happen to continue having low birth rate, People can't support the country because there are too little man power .

Mr Jamal is married. He is a father of 5children.Intend to stop at 5 children because he have a grandson already.If Singapore continues to have a low birth rate,it will not balance.

Mr Joe is married. A father to 3 children. He intend to have 4 children but they can't  afford. He want that amount of children because when they grow up,they can support him and take good care of him. If Singapore continues to have low birth rate,he said it won't happen.

Mr Tan(VP) is married. A father of 1 child. He intended to have 3 children because 3 is enough. He want that amount of children because having to many children might not have enough care for each of them.


Conclusion:
We need to have at least 2 or more children in one family so that when they grow up they can protect and serve the country.

Reflection:
Hairul & Kelson : Look for teacher and interviewed them , help to write this answers and give suggestions for the survey although we missed out an important question to ask the teachers " What can Singapore do to encourage more birth rates.

Vincent : Sacrifice his tuition to interview people

Sarah : Type out the first half of the answers, help to write the survey.
