Despite record low birth rates, Singapore relaxes its egg-freezing regulations.

Singapore has relaxed its restrictions on women freezing their eggs, raising the age cap from 35 to 37. This move comes as Singapore's birth rate has dropped to 1.05 babies per woman and the replacement fertility rate is 2.1 births per woman. The government has taken into account the desire of women to extend their fertile years due to personal circumstances. Singapore has opened the door to single women to freeze their eggs for non-medical reasons, allowing them to preserve their eggs until they are legally married. This is part of a multi-pronged effort by the government to encourage residents to have more babies. South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world and Japan has experimented with robotic caretakers.
