Abstract

This fund supported the development of CFPR’s SSRC Proposal of the same title. The proposal aims to understand the factors that can promote healthy human development in Singapore, and provide interventions that can address these factors. Broadly, the main research questions examine how family, school, community, and state can help shape the human development of Singaporeans, and how these investments will affect intergenerational mobility and social stratification in Singapore.
