Singapore’s fertility rate fell to a record low of 0.97 in 2023, with just 33,541 babies born. Yet, of those seeking fertility treatment to start families, a recent Fertility Support Singapore (FSS) poll revealed that 40% did not feel supported in the workplace, and 37% did not tell their workplace about their fertility treatment. 48% felt that their fertility struggles affected their work.
Behind these statistics are real people – employees silently navigating fertility issues, pregnancy loss and the complex, often heartbreaking journey of trying to start a family, all whilst holding onto their careers.
That is why we at Fertility Support SG came with Singapore’s first Fertility Support Guide – A Guidebook for Employers to support employees facing fertility challenges. We hope you find this resource useful.
We also frequently conduct sessions and roundtables at offices to raise awareness and educate. Do drop us a note at hello@fertilitysupport.sg if you’d like to collaborate!
