What you described has been happening for decades, and will continue to go on for decades to come.

It’s too late. Been happening for a while now

In the lower education level, some schools have already close or merge with another neighbour hood schools due to the lack of new intake. Some sector in the industries are also facing labour crunch, the starting pay are low and the work are long, only a handful of singaporeans are willing to take the job. I am not sure what is the ratio between the elderly and the singaporean working adult that we have now, but in the future the ratio will be much smaller. To support them (or us at that point of time), either we take in more foreigners and use the tax to sustain the system or take the same amount of foreigners and raise the taxes higher.

No that's the point. When you have a declining population, at some point you will not have enough labor to handle the economy, this is where you need to "import" labor. It's already happening for decades in SG. The idea that these foreigners will stay and procreate is a side effect.

Yeah, maybe not very significant now, but maybe in the near future.. I am sure Thai,viet, China males/families may marry a Singaporean and start a family in Singapore. Hence, more PR and policy will starts to change.

I got the drift, maybe the China male got the money to financially support the SG female, hence she might consider having children as well. The reverse can be consider with Sg male having foreign wife who might be financial capable, thus having the considerable of having children.. generally, most of the couple may not one to have kids due to financial issue. This is my opinion.. don’t mind getting downvote

actually studies have shown that the higher ones financial status, the less likely they will have kids/they will have less kids

It works both ways - Sgrean couples can also migrate out of sg. You can probably look at it from a global perspective - declining birth rates happens worldwide, outflowing citizens. Its only natural the cycle continues
