Singapore saw more marriages and births last year, stated a press release on Monday (Feb 16) from the national population and talent division of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

Minister in the PMO, Ms Grace Fu, said: "I hope that these positive trends will continue in Singapore's Jubilee year as we gain confidence in Singapore's future as a good place to raise our families, where many opportunities for education and jobs await our children."

The press release stated that the increase in marriages was "likely to be due in part to the greater availability of HDB flats, and in part to more Singaporeans, the children of our Baby Boomers, entering marriageable age".
