The varied population issues and consequences associated with the prolonged below-replacement fertility are discussed in detail. The strength of the book lies in the author's intimate familiarity with the subject acquired through some personal involvement in the formulation of population policies for the country. 606 $aBirth control$zSingapore 606 $aFertility, Human$zSingapore 607 $aSingapore$xPopulation policy 615 0$aBirth control 615 0$aFertility, Human 676 $a363.96095957 700 $aSaw$b Swee-Hock$f1931-2021,$01581079 712 02$aISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798790103321 996 $aPopulation policies and programmes in Singapore$93862404 997 $aUNINA
