This book depicts the evolution of Singapores family and population landscape in the last half a century, the related public policies, and future challenges. Since the country gained independence in 1965, family and population policies have been integral to her nation-building strategies. The chapters discuss the changes in population compositions, family structures, relations, and values among major ethnic groups. They also discuss policies for vulnerable populations such as female-headed households, cross-cultural families, same-sex partnering, the elderly, and low-income families. In the context of global family changes, Singapores experience is by no means a linear extrapolation of those in the Western industrialized countries, but a unique interplay between globalization, culture, and public policies. As the country celebrated her 50th birthday, the book reflects on how families have fared and the efficacies of various family and population policies.
