Abstract
The private and the public are often deemed as a ‘natural’ and universal division which models social life into a domestic sphere for women and a public/work sphere for men. The shift in Singapore's population policy from anti- to pro-natalism is used to explore gendered responses with the aim of deconstructing this dichotomy. The paper provides support for the interpenetration rather than division of spheres, and shows that macro-socioeconomic contexts are critical to redefining social values which may ultimately affect the coalescence of public ideology and private freedoms.
