Information trust and Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy amongst middle-aged and older adults in Singapore
Because trust in formal sources of information influences vaccination status, authorities should build trust in such sources to encourage vaccination against COVID-19. However, health communication strategies with middle-aged and older adults who have low levels of trust in the formal sources may be more effective if authorities leveraged alternative channels such as informal sources, including the social networks of such individuals. Overall, th…

Population Policy and Reproduction in Singapore
Singapore, a small city-state that can only boast of her people as resource, has been suffering sustained decline in fertility since the 1980s. Singlehood statistics have also inched up, and in a fairly tradition society where procreation is sanctioned only within a legally recognized union, there is little hope that the total fertility rate (TFR) will go up any time soon. To augment the shortfall in labor supply, the government had resorted to e…

This book arises from possibly the most comprehensive study of divorce done in Singapore.
