8 shocking revelations about retirement planning of Singaporean mums

Two in five expect their children to care for them when they retire.

While mums make monthly provisions in their budgets for expenses such as dining out, family vacations and enrichment classes for their kids, they are not setting aside funds for their own retirement. 75% of mums have not yet started planning for it; 44% plan to rely on their children post retirement.

The Singaporean Mums Retirement Aspirations Survey 2015 conducted by theAsianparent.com’s Insights team in collaboration with AIA, Singapore, found that despite having a lifespan of almost 20 years post retirement, the average Singaporean mother fails to plan for it. The survey conducted last month, targeted a group of over 600 mums in their 30s, including both stay-at-home as well as full-time working mums.

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.
