Public policies play an important role to redistribute resources in the society. \u00a0Countries differ enormously on the extent to which private and public transfer across generations contribute to the development of human capital. \u00a0In the 2016 Singapore conference, scholars and policy makers will seek a better understanding of the patterns and implications of these transfers for social stratification and mobility around the world.<\/p>\r\n<p>Papers relevant to this core theme are particularly welcome. \u00a0Contributions on the broad theme of social inequalities and social mobility will also be considered. \u00a0Submission of abstracts must be in English and made online at the conference website submission page (available only between October 1 -December 10, 2015). \u00a0Please specify whether you are submitting your abstract for paper presentation only, poster presentation only or for either.<\/p>\r\n<strong>The deadline for abstract submissions is December 10, 2015 at 5:00 p.m,\u00a0Singapore Time (UTC\/GMT +8 hours).

Fares\u00a0range from S$1.00 to S$2.00, from vending machines\u00a0at the stations. Operating hours vary a\u00a0little but trains run from around 05:15 to 00:15. It is recommended to check what time the\u00a0last train leaves from the respective stations if you are planning a late night.\r\nBus<br \/>\r\nBus fares range from S$1.00 to S$2.00. If you are paying in cash, please ensure you have the\u00a0correct fare, as bus drivers do not give change. Alternatively, you can purchase an Ez-Link\u00a0card, which is a stored-value fare card, from bus interchanges and MRT stations. Ez-Link\u00a0cards may be used for bus and MRT fares.\r\nTaxi<br \/>\r\nTaxis can be flagged from hotels and taxi stands, as well as on the streets, if there are no taxi\u00a0stands nearby and traffic is not disrupted. Flagged\u00a0taxi fares start between S$3.00 and\u00a0S$3.40 for the first 1km. There are additional charges for trips from Changi Airport (from\u00a0S$5.00 onwards, depending on the time); to and fro\u00a0from the Central Business District\u00a0(S$3.00 from Monday to Saturday, 17:00 to midnight), Peak Hours (25% of the metered fare\u00a0on Monday to Saturday from 06:00-09:30 &amp; 18:00 to midnight); After Midnight (50% of the\u00a0metered fare shown).\r\nAdvance booking numbers (booking surcharge varies from S$8.00 to S$18:00):<br \/>\r\nComfort CityCab \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (65) 6552 1111<br \/>\r\nComfort Premier\u00a0Cabs\u00a0(65) 6552 2828<br \/>\r\nSMRT Taxis \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(65) 6555 8888<br \/>\r\nPremier Taxis \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0(65) 6363 6888\r\n<strong>Tax Refund Schemes<\/strong><br \/>\r\nTo enjoy tax-free shopping in Singapore, simply look out for retailers that display the \u201cTax\u00a0Refund\u201d logo on their shop front and spend SG100 in\u00a0a single receipt to qualify. More\u00a0information can be found at the Tourist Refund Scheme page on the Singapore Customs\u00a0website at\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.customs.gov.sg\/\">www.customs.gov.sg<\/a><\/u>.\r\n<strong>Tipping<\/strong><br \/>\r\nTipping is not widely practiced in Singapore as most hotels and restaurants apply a default\u00a010% service charge.\r\n<strong>Visa and Entry\u00a0Facilities<\/strong><br \/>\r\nMost foreigners coming into Singapore do not require a visa for entry and may be given\u00a0social visit passes for up to 30 days upon their arrival in Singapore. However, it is best to\u00a0consult your local consular office for the latest information with regard to coming into\u00a0Singapore.<br \/>\r\nIf you would like to stay in Singapore for a longer\u00a0period, you may apply to the Immigration\u00a0&amp; Checkpoints Authority (ICA) upon your arrival. You should have a valid passport with at\u00a0least six months validity, onward or return tickets, onward facilities (such as visas or entry\u00a0permits) to your next destination, and sufficient funds for your stay in Singapore.\r\n<p>The list of countries whose nationals require a visa to enter Singapore may be found on the\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ica.gov.sg\/\">ICA\u2019s website<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\r\n<strong>Weather<\/strong><br \/>\r\nSingapore is known for its hot and humid weather, with little variation throughout the year.\u00a0The average daytime temperature is 31\u00baC (88\u00baF), dropping to around 24\u00baC (75\u00baF) in the\u00a0evenings. The monsoon season can bear down pretty heavily on our tropical weather from\u00a0November onwards, so be prepared for rain on a daily basis during this period.\r\n\t\t\t\tContact Us\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nCentre for Family and Population Research<br \/>\r\nFaculty of Arts and Social Sciences<br \/>\r\nVentus (University Campus Infrastructure), Unit #03-01, 8 Kent Ridge Drive<br \/>\r\nSingapore 119246\r\n<h4>Email:<a>\u00a0cfpr@nus.edu.sg <\/a><\/h4>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Conference Info Accomodation Programme Paper Submission Registration About Singapore Contact Us Home Guest of Honour:\u00a0 Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister &amp; Coordinating Minister for Economic and Social Policies Keynote Speaker: Dr Noeleen Heyzer, Social Scientist and Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Member, NUS Board of Trustees\u00a0 This conference brings more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"parent":1187,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15118","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15118"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15134,"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15118\/revisions\/15134"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
