2025年4月8日，新加坡總理公署部長兼財政部及國家發展部第二部長英蘭妮 在國會口頭答覆宏茂橋集選區議員黃玲玲 有關開展「生一個吧」（LET'S HAVE ONE）運動以提高總和生育率的問題。

以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：

黃玲玲（宏茂橋集選區議員）問總理兼財政部長：

（一）政府如何借鑑1972年"兩個就夠了"（Stop at Two）計劃生育運動經驗，重塑"生一個吧"運動（LET'S HAVE ONE）以提升生育率？

（二）歷史運動對當前扭轉生育率下滑趨勢有何啟示？

英蘭妮（總理公署部長兼財政部及國家發展部第二部長，代總理答覆）：當前社會環境與1970年代截然不同。彼時新加坡作為發展中國家，面臨資源匱乏、住房短缺、教育水平低等問題，民眾對家庭規劃的觀念亦受時代局限。

經歷半個世紀發展，新加坡已成為已開發國家，國民婚育觀念隨全球趨勢轉變。因此，直接套用50年前的"兩個就夠了"（Stop at Two）運動模式並不可行。

解決生育率下降問題是國家的當務之急。但婚育屬個人選擇。年輕夫妻在決定成家生子時需權衡多方因素，政府將重點放在了解他們的觀點，並努力解決他們對建立和撫養家庭的擔憂。我們也在努力營造更有利的環境，讓新加坡人在生兒育女方面感到安全和得到支持。

在「攜手前進」報告（Forward Singapore report）中，我們承諾將新加坡建設成為新加坡人組建家庭、家庭成長和家庭教育的最佳場所。從那時起，我們逐步完善政策，以解決主要關切領域的問題，例如，通過加強嬰兒獎金計劃、推出新的共享育兒假計劃、靈活工作安排申請三方準則以及新的大家庭計劃。

為了轉變觀念和文化，我們還發起了「齊心為了家 」（Made For Families）運動，不斷努力團結僱主、組織、社區團體和個人，共同創建一個家庭繁榮昌盛的新加坡。「齊心為了家 」（Made For Families）運動還包括公共宣傳工作，鼓勵人們就為人父母展開對話，並向渴望生育的人們保證，他們在生育過程中的每一步都會得到支持。我們將繼續與全社會合作，建設一個「齊心為了家 」（Made For Families）的新加坡。

以下是英文質詢內容：

PROPOSAL FOR "LET'S HAVE ONE" CAMPAIGN TO BOOST TOTAL FERTILITY RATE

25Ms Ng Ling Lingasked the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance (a) how will the Government re-imagine a "Let's Have One" campaign to promote growth in birth rate in a manner similar to the "Stop at Two" family planning campaign launched in 1972 to moderate population growth then; and (b) what lessons can be learnt from the "Stop at Two" campaign to make the ''Let's Have One'' campaign as successful for reversing the downward trend in total fertility rate.

Ms Indranee Rajah (for the Prime Minister): Today's environment is vastly different compared to the 1970s. Then, we were a developing country with few resources, insufficient housing and amenities, and a population with much lower levels of education. Mindsets and attitudes to family formation, too, were different.

In the half-century that has since passed, Singapore has changed tremendously. Individual priorities and societal norms surrounding marriage and parenthood have also shifted, in line with global trends across advanced societies around the world. As such, using an approach like the "Stop at Two" campaign, which was developed for circumstances and views prevalent more than 50 years ago, may not be the most effective to change mindsets and attitudes in the current day.

Addressing our declining fertility is a national priority. Yet, we also understand that marriage and parenthood are deeply personal decisions. Young couples have many considerations in deciding whether to marry and have children. Hence, we are focusing on understanding their viewpoint and are working to address their concerns over starting and raising families. We are also working to foster a more conducive and enabling environment in which Singaporeans feel secure and supported in having children.

In the Forward Singapore report, we have stated our commitment for Singapore to be the best place for Singaporeans to start, grow and nurture their families. Since then, we have progressively enhanced our policies to address key areas of concerns, for example, through enhancements to the Baby Bonus Scheme, introduction of the new Shared Parental Leave scheme, the Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests as well as the new Large Families Scheme.

To shift mindsets and culture, we have also started the Made For Families movement, which is an ongoing effort to rally employers, organisations, community groups and individuals to create a Singapore where families can thrive. The Made For Families movement also includes public communications efforts to encourage conversations around parenthood as well as to assure those keen to have children that they will be supported at every step along the way. We will continue to partner the whole-of-society to build a Singapore Made For Families.
