Methodology

We went to Singapore’s largest suburban, NEX mall, on Thursday to look for potential interviewees.

In order to have a better representation of the whole population, we selectively approached 8 people from different walks of life. Their age range from 20 to 60. They were generally friendly and willing to answer our questions however, some were unable to give answers to all the questions asked.

The following are the questions:


1)Are you married? If yes, how old were you when you first got married?


2)Do you have any children? If yes, how many do you have? If no, do you intend to have any children in the near future? If yes, how many?


3)What are the reasons that you do not have children? ( If interviewee does not have a child) What are the reasons that you do not want to have more children? ( If interviewee has child/children)


4)Are you aware that Singapore has a low birth rate and its consequences?


5)What are the likely reasons do you think why the there is a low birth rate in Singapore now?


6)What do you think government can do to encourage more people to give birth?
