====Singapore==== [[Singapore]] is an example of a country with a sterilization incentive program. In the 1980s, Singapore offered US $5000 to women who elected to be sterilized. The conditions associated with receiving this grant were clearly aimed at targeting low-income and less-educated parents. It specified that both parents should be below a specified educational level and that their combined income should not exceed $750 per month.<ref>Singh, K., O. A. C. Viegas, and S. S. Ratnam. "Balance in Family Planning". ''World Health Forum''. 10 (1989): 344β49.</ref> This program, among other birth control incentives and education programs, greatly reduced Singapore's birth rate, female mortality rate, and [[Infant mortality|infant mortality rate]] while increasing family income, female participation in the labor force, with a rise in educational attainment among other social benefits. These are the intended results of most incentivizing programs, although questions of their ethicality remain.
