 | For those college student, how can they find their partners for life? A Singaporean University has found a brilliant idea-----opening a course on love and relations between men and women. According to the report, Singapore has low birth rate and the senior citizens take a large part of its population. On the other hand, young Singaporean get married very late. The data reveals that a huge amount of men and women who are over 30 years haven't got married. What's more, those who have got married don't want have their babies. The Singaporean governmetn are afraid that it will have negative impact on its economic development. Thus, they support the universities to open such a course. What do you think of this idea? Do you think it is useful? |

| Speaking as a former student, I would definitely take the course in love and relations between men and women. If the university could make that course an offering in life education en route to a lower division requirement than it would beat out other courses such as physical education (much needed) or child care. But as for sparking up the love life of the young, I think its a bit tough since you still got to find that special someone. |

| Well, I suggest that Chinese universities should also introduce this course too. In this way, there will be less young people who commit suicide when they break up with their BF/GF. |

| I have heard before that a lot of people commit suicide in China but I thought for other reasons such as economic or family problems. I didn’t know they do so because of a break-up. |

| That days have past. Young people did not suicide for break-up. |

| Maybe the younger Singaporean people are spending more time in school to pursue a profession and delaying marriage until after graduation. Or, is the cost of living so high in Singapore that these people cannot afford to get married and raise a family? |

| SHESGOTTOBE and LION, the days haven't ended. At least for me, I hear such things time to time. Girls usually commit suicide after breaking up with her boyfriend. |

| *sigh* How else are they going to meet that one true love if they kill themselves? |

| It's very distasteful to me when governments (and others) seek to boost population. The whole world is choking itself and these governments encourage more people. You'd think Singapore would be pleased to reduce its population densisty. |

| An economic to population balancing act to guarantee the support of the infrastructure (whether city or state) that has a lot of "twists" and "turns". The desired results would be an all working class of people that would be generating revenues in the form of purchasing power and taxes paid. The negative results (of course) would be masses of unemployed people draining state funds(if any welfare at all). Sort of reminds me (if this can be mentioned) of the one child only policy, problem was that most parents wanted a male which upset the male/female ratio.(You girls have got it made) |

The negative results (of course) would be masses of unemployed people draining state funds(if any welfare at all)) Gary, Social insurance like employment insurance is the way of Government maintain purchasing power and keeping certain level of unemployment, according to macro economy, is to avoid overproduction or labour exhaustion on work. Long time ago in Socialist China, job is guaranteed for everyone and distribution is equal no matter how you perform and what the job load is, ie, all profit-oriented corp. were run like non-profit org. Do you know what they did in working hours – chatting, gossiping, reading newspaper. During early stage of reform, corp introduced incentive and competition mechanism encouraging individual diligence and getting credits in various forms as rewards. Furthermore, job is no more secure than before,i.e., out if unqualified and in if bringing material benefits to corp. Great changes did take place and Chinese society is leaping forward. The by-product that leap bring is insecurity, more specifically, being out someday. That justifies Natural Darwinism and I can feel this theory rooted in Hongkongnese daily life. I used to have the pleasure to study and work with Hongkongnese, I was really surprised and impressed by their hard work, passion and aggressiveness which can be traced to their education received as a little child – (the doctrine for them is to fight like a wolf to earn your life). |
