Methodology
We did our project after school on the 30 / 01 / 12 in school and we had interviewed 10 teachers from the age of 20 - 60 and we asked them our survey questions and we wrote down their view points about the low birthrate in Singapore .
Here are some questions we asked :
1. What is your age ? Had you married ? What is your occupation ? What is your age married ?
2. Do you have any children ?
If have , how many do you have ?
If not , how many do you want ?
If you don't want any children , why ?
How many children do you want ?
Why you want only that number of children ?
Why you don't want having more than 1-2 children ?
Why do you think people in Singapore are not giving birth ?
3. What do you think can happen if Singapore continues to have a low birthrate ?
4. What do you think the government can do to encourage people to give birth to more children ?
Lastly , we thanks them for their view points and their precious time to take the survey .

Result & Analysis
Out of the 10 Peicai staff we had interviewed , 2 were married and 8 were single . The 2 staff who were married has got 1 or 2 children , but 1 of them is still planning to have 1 or 2 children more . The 8 people who were single are intending to get married but have not found a suitable partner .
Out of the 2 staff who were married , 1 of them aged between 50's to 60's have 2 children said that during the olden days , government said that they have to stop at 2 children and it is expensive to raise children up those days . The other staff who is aged between 20's to 30's have 1 children but wants to have 3 children . She doesn't wants to have more children because their house is too small , their age is growing older and it is expensive to raise more than 3 children .
The 8 staff who were single are willing to have 2 to 3 children when they get married, because they thinks children are adorable and makes homes lively so they can have some company . They doesn't want to have more children because they are afraid that they could not afford to bring them up . And nowadays , bringing up children is expensive and people are working harder to earn more money to support their families . Some were saying it is painful for the women to give birth to more childen and some does not have enough time to take care their children .
The government is so concern about low birthrate because they are not able to sustain and need of more foreign talents , ageing population , not enough manpower to serve the country and decrease of population .
Some people suggested that the government should give more financial support , housing , more benefits , give more money bonus for giving birth , tax break , allow flexible working hours , job benefits and paternal leave to encourage more people to give birth to more children .
