Part-time and flexible work policies encouraged for Merdeka generation

It will encourage sustainable economic stability within this demographic.

Half of the Merdeka seniors remain “gainfully employed,” which is why there should be policies allowing them to work part-time or do flexible work arrangements, according to Research on Successful Ageing (ROSA).

ROSA said there should also be financial incentives to “foster sustainable economic stability within this demographic.”

Skill development programmes such as SkillsFutureSG can also help expand job prospects.

“Crucially, policies aimed at their work engagements should consider their skills and interests, aligning them with suitable employment opportunities,” read the study.

Merdeka’s average health expenditure monthly is at $202.59.

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.
