Reference and Reflection on Singapore's Family Education Support Policy under the Background of Low Birth Rate

In order to cope with the situation of low birth rate, Singapore government has tried to alleviate the pressure of parents on education investment through a series of policy designs. This study examines 21 family education support policies from Singapore, a nation with a systematic framework of family education resources, for revealing their underlying thematic structure and distinctive characteristics. From the perspective of thematic composition, the seven policy themes exhibit a high degree of differentiation and collectively form a well-structured policy framework. In terms of policy domains, resources are clearly skewed toward service support, with child development as the central priority. On this basis, the seven themes can be synthesized into three core dimensions: children's education and development; the balance between parents' career development and children's education; and policy formulation, implementation, and governance. Given that Singapore's family education support policies exhibit characteristics of de-familialization, de-commodification, and a well-structured system, China may draw on these experiences in adjusting policy value orientations, addressing structural inequalities, and enhancing policy effectiveness and foresight.
