SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has written on his Facebook page that he is aware many couples and parents are worried about childcare for their young children, especially when both adults are working.
He noted that they had raised their concerns and commented on this when he posted on the Marriage & Parenthood Package on Monday.
Mr Lee added that the government is increasing child and infant care subsidies, for families with a gross monthly income of up to S$7,500 and expanding the number of good quality and affordable childcare centres.
This will give parents with young children greater peace of mind, and hopefully encourage couples to have more children.
