Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Bath (United Kingdom), 1986.

In 1984 females represented 49.8% of the total population of Singapore, 48.3 of the total school population and 36.3% of the total labour force. Women's contribution to the economic development and political stability of industrialised Singapore is unquestionable, yet, they do not enjoy educational, economic, political or religious parity with men. This research comprises three parts: the first, consisting of Chapters 2 and 3 surveys the historical and educational developments of Singapore and women's place in these two areas; the second part, Chapters 4, 5 and 6, is an historical analysis of the changing conditions of Singapore women constitutionally, educationally and politically while histories, ethnographies and explanations make up Chapters 7 and 8, the third part. Chapter 1, the introduction, summarizes the main areas to be investigated in this research. Chapter 2 traces the historical and economic developments of Singapore and Chapter 3 reviews the diverse educational developments from 1819 to the present day. Chapter 4 investigates the roles and statuses of Chinese, Malay and Indian women in the past and today. Chapter 5 discusses the legal, political and educational changes and their effects on Singapore women. Sex discrimination and sex- role stereotyping in employment and in the educational system are investigated in Chapters 6 and 7. Ethnographic classroom observations and a survey of textbooks, neither approach having been attempted before in Singapore, were carried out in Chapter 7. Extracts from personal reflections on the situations of women in the home, in the educational system, in employment and in society, in the past and today, are presented in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 draws together the conclusions and makes recommendations for more equitable practices in the educational, political, economic fields and in the home environment with the hope of establishing, if possible, a more equal society in the future.
