SINGAPORE: There were seven stateless children under the age of 12 in Singapore, and another 13 between the ages of 12 and 18 as at Dec 31, 2023.
They constituted 2.3 per cent of the total number of stateless individuals here. While their circumstances vary, one reason for their statelessness is that they were born in Singapore to foreign parents who did not obtain citizenship of their country for their children.
