1. Overly successful population policies of 1960s-1970s
- Measures within the policy to reduce birthrates included
- Encouraged use of contraceptives
- Legalizing abortion
- No income tax relief
- Media also played a part by bearing down psychologically on Singaporeans with messages like "The more you have, the less they get"
- These measures clearly had great impact on Singaporeans= hit the pockets
- Penalised the quality of life of large families
- Stopping at 2 become the socially acceted number of children to have
- The result of these highly effective policis was best seen in the low fertilit rates in 1980, which hit 1.8, beow the required rate of 2.1
