Singapore Perspectives 2018 “Together”— Panel II Singapore Community – Solidarity Not Contention

The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) held its annual flagship Singapore Perspectives (SP) conference on 22 January 2018. The theme of SP2018 was “Together” and it considered Singapore’s demographic challenges and opportunities as a global city-state without natural resources. Panel II considered the possible fault lines that could emerge in an ageing society, in areas such as taxation, immigration and jobs. Panellists also urged society to consider the economic potential of the silver industry and discussed whether we should aspire to be an “age-less” society – where age is irrelevant – or an “age-friendly” society – where we confront and address issues that come with an ageing society.
