Singapore already has a fertility rate of 1.09 children per women, which means their population is already far below a replacement fertility of 2.1 to maintain current numbers. Singapore has a child malnutrition of 3.3% as of 2009, which means they are not overpopulated as their government can sustain their population. An overpopulated country is one that cannot sustain population, if a population cannot be supported a lack of food and malnutrition is an indicator of that, but Singapore's economy allows it to import resources. Their imports give them a phantom carrying capacity and allows their population to be sustained. To solve the space crunch you have to build up, Singapore has the economic capability to do so. 1
