To what extent is Singapore a family-friendly society? (mjc/2997/jc1/mye)

Singapore is a family- friendly country because the government has implemented policies to encourage family bonding. One of the policies is the five- days work week. This is to encourage people to spend time with their families during the weekends. In a fast paced society, family members are busy with their work and often neglect each other. Through this policy, they can use these two days to spend time with their members and find out more about their lives. This help to improve the bond with their members. However, this policy is not applicable to all the workers, especially those who are in service sectors. People who have high ranked positions in multinational companies may also unable to spend time with family members as their schedules are often packed and have to travel frequently. Since these people are unable to spend time with their members, their bonds may not be close. This shows that Singapore is still not a family-friendly country since it does not benefit all the people.
