This study focuses on married couples' decision concerning the timing of their first child and attempts to identify the relevant factors involved in such a decision. The first section gives background on the situation in Singapore while the second reviews findings of other studies concerning parenthood decisions, their causes, and consequences. The third section discusses the aspects of modernity and traditionalism that are found to be related to the choice of delayed motherhood. The concluding section summarizes the main findings and their implications.
