Government-funded paternity leave will double for fathers of Singaporean children born from Jan 1, 2024. Parents’ unpaid infant care leave will also double to 12 days per year.
SINGAPORE — In the rollout of the National Budget for 2023, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said he hopes that Singaporeans understand “that it is not fiscally sustainable to rely so heavily on government support year after year to cope with inflation” even as he announced a slew of measures that are aimed to help Singaporeans with young families.
Moreover, he announced an additional baby bonus cash gift of $3,000 for Singaporean children born from Feb 13 and onward. These children will also have higher government contributions to the Child Development Account, to aid their parents in offsetting school and healthcare expenses. The baby bonus cash gift, DPM Wong said, ensures that “parents can receive continuous support all the way until their child enters primary school.”
