I’ll have dated myself by saying that I was a product of the ‘Two is Enough’ policy – so if you’re reading this and you were born in the 80s and 90s, you might not know what I’m talking about. Two is Enough was a public service campaign held in 1970s to check population growth. Laokokok gives us a history of family planning in Singapore from the 1970s to today.

What a contrast compared to now! In the 70s, the government was advising the people to “Stop At 2″, that’s try not to have more than 2 children per family. Why?

In 1965, on the average 1 baby was born in Singapore every 11 minutes.
