One example is Prof Yeung\u2019s Singapore Longitudinal Early Development Study (<em>SG LEADS<\/em>), which examines the current state of Singaporean children aged six and below. Prof Yeung stresses that Singapore faces the toughest challenges in family and population issues, both of which are not only closely intertwined but also affect all domains of human life.
