Public Talk: Population Ageing in Singapore: Implications for Living Standards Relative to Other ASE

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”22917″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

Synopsis

Singapore’s population is ageing faster than that of other ASEAN nations. In Singapore, the ratio of workers to consumers is falling, and is projected to fall at least another 10 per cent between now and 2050, unlike Malaysia and other ASEAN nations where the ratio will remain steady or in some cases increase. This will put pressure on living standards in Singapore and will partly close the gap between its living standards and those of other ASEAN nations. Here, we explore these demographic changes in terms of causes and effects, and explore policy options for dealing with them.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
