Here's how difficult it would be for Singapore to grow workforce by 2030

There are 0.7 citizens entering working age for every one citizen exiting.

Government sees the number of citizens in the working ages of 20 to 64 years will decline from 2020 due to more citizens retiring and fewer citizens entering the workforce . It notes that it will become increasingly difficult to grow our workforce through our citizen population alone, unless we succeed in reversing the declining fertility trend.

In 2012, government statistics show that there are 2 citizens entering working age for every one citizen exiting.

By 2030 however, government forecasts that there will be 0.7 citizens entering working age for every one citizen exiting.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
