Singapore Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong is telling his people to get married younger and have more children.
Lee says the city-state's fertility rate is only 1.29 children per woman, well below the 2.1 needed to replace the population.
Lee blames some men for having conservative attitudes and expecting wives to be obedient. Women must also value marriage more, and not just focus on a work career, Lee says in a televised speech.
(I don't think it is men having "conservative attitudes" ; it's that many of the guys are gay and don't want to be married!!!)
