Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 1: Gan Thiam Poh on population measures
As one of the fastest-ageing countries in the world, how is Singapore ensuring that it has enough youths and working adults to support the growing elderly cohort? Is there an optimum old age dependency ratio target? And is the Government prepared to review policies to reduce the old age dependency ratio through boosting Singapore’s birth rates and attracting Permanent Residents and new citizens? MP Gan Thiam Poh raised these questions in Parliament on Friday (Feb 24).
