Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 1: Patrick Tay on future Singapore population and slowing workforce growth
Singapore faces pressing demographic challenges, such as an ageing population and low birth rates. Social issues such as ageism and increased caregiving responsibilities are exacerbated by an uncertain global environment and economic outlook, which presents challenging conditions for Singapore's growth. What then are the key population outcomes that the Government wants to achieve and how does it plan to achieve these outcomes? MP Patrick Tay raised this question in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 28). Turning to Singapore’s slowing workforce growth, Mr Tay wanted to know how the Government will continue to maintain a vibrant economy, as well as create good job opportunities for Singaporeans and future generations.
