The Centre for Family and Population Research at the National University of Singapore (NUS CFPR) is inviting applications for a newly-funded large-scale research project entitled “Building Human Capacity in Singapore’s Population” (PI: Professor Jean Yeung). This multidisciplinary project aims to use multiple research methods to understand early childhood development of Singaporean children. The research team includes scholars from seven disciplines – Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Geography, Social Work, Communications and New Media, and Demography. The aim is to examine how factors such as caregiving arrangements, preschool education, the roles of mother, father and extended family, cross-cultural family background, family resources, parenting behavior, living arrangements, family dynamics/relations, community, and government programs can affect children’s social-emotional and cognitive development, health, and identity.
