Population White Paper : ウィキペディア英語版 | Population White Paper A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore: Population White Paper (), or simply known as the Population White Paper (PWP), is a January 2013 white paper released by the government of Singapore that projects Singapore's population as 6.9 million by year 2030.〔 This would have been an increase by 1.6 million people from 2013, or an average of 100,000 more people in Singapore per year.〔 The PWP argued that up to 30,000 new permanent residents and 25,000 naturalized citizens each year are needed to sustain Singapore's population due to the falling birth rates in Singapore. It also justified immigration and presence of foreign workers as helping local businesses thrive and "create good jobs for Singaporeans".〔''A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore: Population White Paper'', p. 31-32〕 The PWP also included additional measures to encourage marriage and have more children. The motion was passed in Parliament by 77 votes to 13 (all members of the opposition and three nominated MPs), albeit after amendments made to leave out "population policy" and add focus on infrastructure and transport development.〔(Amended motion on white paper adopted; 6.9 million is not a target. ) ''The Straits Times''. 9 February 2013.〕 Several parties opposing the PWP have taken it to be a targeted increase of Singapore's population to 6.9 million, though government ministers have denied this.〔 Citizens reacted to the PWP with shock and anger,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mnd.gov.sg/landuseplan/newsroom_sms_tan_speech.htm )〕 and this has led to the largest public protest ever organized in Singapore's history.〔〔 Many Singaporeans have attributed the government's population and immigration policy as the cause of overcrowding and falling reliability of its public transportation system, increasing property prices for housing, suppressed wage level, increased competition for jobs (especially for professionals, managers, executives and technicians) and education, increasing income inequality and other social problems. Academics have also criticized the PWP as being "overly mechanistic, economically simplistic and astonishingly sociologically and politically naive". The PWP has become one of the largest political issues raised in the 2015 general elections. ==See also==
