This is what Singapore does. Although the government provides substantial aid to new citizen families, the unspoken preference is for the immigration authority to shape national demographics by filtering the educational, racial and cultural intake. and by far the most prioritized group for immigration are malaysians of chinese descent with tertiary education. despite the sheer number of applicants from this group, the wait for citizenship is extremely short, some say as low as 3 months after application.

the straits chinese have the lowest fertility rate among all the major racial groups in singapore, and yet mysteriously the proportion has not changed in the last 10 years.
