Abstract

Singapore’s population is getting all mixed up and there is no stopping it. While the
mixed marriage trend is not new, the uptick in the last decade has been significant.
This rising trend throws up a spread of issues, most of which have no straightforward
solutions. But one thing is clear: we must change the way we perceive race and
national identity. As these marriages slowly blur out the lines on issues of race and
nationality, Singaporeans have to reconsider what makes a Singaporean. Marrying
Out: Singapore’s Mixed Future is a shared account of voices from mixed marriage
couples on the ground to top-level academics and policymakers seeking to chronicle
the current changing demographic landscape and chart the future of the place we
all call home.
