Unsurprising to anyone watching what’s going on in the world and our country. Youth unemployment, rental spikes, hustle culture, wars happening without consequence, climate change, oligarchs determining the fate of the world. It’s a shitty place for many people right now unless you’re shielded by privilege or ignorance, or are extremely resilient. And they’re surprised why we’re choosing to have fewer to no kids...
this exactly - i was born here to extremely abusive parents, lived on my own since 20 years of age. no family support, renting on open market, rent of hdb rooms went up 50% overnight. i go online, so many comments saying singles wanting housing is "ENTITLEMENT" and there is just "no space" for people to live in singapore. what no space - nobody even wants kids here, govt importing people en masse to drive up demand so boomers can make tons of money off public housing, all our problems are self-created. then i have to contend with global warming, horrible weather, not being able to go out because shit costs money i don't have. oh well, back to working my weekend job which i need to cover my rent.
There will be more if this job market doesn’t improve. Especially after 4~years of studying and getting a degree, then proceed to not even get an interview with 100+ applications. A lot of people ignores the mental health aspect of this.
Damn 2/3 were man
Males don’t get the emotional or social support system. They are accused of pretending, or being needy clingy and weird when they have a crisis situation.
