Let's talk parenting, work and support | Let's Table It Ep 3

Singapore’s Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has been falling. Why are fewer Singaporeans choosing marriage and parenthood?

In this episode of Let’s Table It, we sit down with Minister Indranee Rajah, Chairperson of the Marriage and Parenthood Reset Workgroup, and William Chin, Founder and CEO of Mummys Market, to discuss the latest family support measures, changing attitudes towards marriage and parenthood, and what it will take to build a more family-friendly Singapore.

Tune in for a conversation on what support families need today, and how workplaces and communities can play a bigger role in helping parents thrive.
