In recent years the Singapore state, as part of its broader population planning policy has focused attention on encouraging graduate men and women to marry and have children at a younger age. These policies have been promoted through a series of well-publicized save, rising campaigns in the television and print media. Tertiary-educated women have been constructed as "problematic" within this discourse of state-directed social change because they are marrying later, having fewer children and, on occasion, foregoing marriage or not having children altogether. This paper examines the ways some such women understand the current marriage debate, and the reasons they give for their life choices I will argue that contrary to popular media and state views, such women have not rejected marriage but rather traditional constructions of gender roles within the family.
