In many Western and non-Western contexts, the dual-parent family continues to be viewed as the \u2018normal\u2019 and desirable family form. In Singapore, this means that single parents outside the margins of \u2018normality\u2019 \u2013 including divorcees, widowed parents and unmarried parents \u2013 are considered by the state as undesirable.<\/p>\n<p>The Singapore government\u2019s efforts to discourage single parenthood take the form of asymmetrical policy directives. This means that certain groups of single parents may not be eligible for benefits given to married couples, such as subsidized public housing; special tax rebates; and other grants for education and skills upgrading. According to Prof. Brenda Yeoh (Department of Geography) et al., the state\u2019s privileging of dual-parent family values and exclusion of other family forms have led to single parents becoming a \u2018silent minority\u2019 whose concerns are marginalized in favour of Singaporeans who form \u2018normal\u2019 two-parent families. This \u2018silent minority\u2019 therefore needs to negotiate the \u2018spaces\u2019 of family life in a variety of cultural, economic and political contexts.<\/p>\n<p>In their paper, Prof. Yeoh et al. noted that single parents have internalized to some extent notions of a \u2018normal\u2019 family. In addition, views on remarriage as a way to return to \u2018normality\u2019 are strikingly differentiated by gender. While single fathers are uneasy taking on the \u2018unnatural\u2019 role of \u2018nurturer\u2019 and thus consider remarrying a \u2018necessity\u2019, single mothers are more likely to consider remarrying as an extra burden for themselves, suggesting remnants of patriarchal notions about gender relations and roles of husband\/wife and mother\/father.<\/p>\n<p>To read more, follow <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/psp.314\/full\">this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What constitutes a family in Singapore?
