- Abstract
- It would appear that as Singapore entered the 21st century that have been marked improvements in its women's education attainment, labour force participation and related remuneration. Singaporean women are financially much more independent and are politically and socially more influential. Singaporean families are becoming smaller; women commit to marriage and give birth to their first child much later than previous generations. These changes have raised concerns about sustainability of the future Singaporean labour force for economic development and support for an aging population.; C1
