Chart of the Day: Citizen population to shrink from 2025 onwards

An unprecedented age shift looms.

According to the Population White Paper: A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore, the citizen population reached a turning point in 2012 as the first group of Baby Boomers turned 65.

The National Population and Talent Division of the Prime Minister’s Office reported:

Falling birth rates coupled with increasing life expectancies will result in an ageing and shrinking citizen population and workforce.

At current birth rates and without immigration, our citizen population will shrink from 2025 onwards. The median age of citizens will also rise from 40 years today to 45 in 2025.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
