Based on a survey of a 471 -year -old Singapore citizen and permanent residents, nearly 90%of the respondents supported delay retirement.; 80.4%are supporting the re -employment age to 68 or more.Singapore's legal retirement age was adjusted to 63 last year.More than 60 % believe that the biggest obstacle to the employment of seniors is that the employer's attitude is not positive and the existence of age discrimination.The survey showed that local residents' attitudes towards the work of the elderly were pragmatic.Population aging has made extending retirement age.

Singapore will enter a super -aging society in 2026, with a population of 21%over 65 years old. Due to the lack of laborers, extending retirement age has become an inevitable trend.At the same time, the world's unstable factors have increased, and the inflation momentum has not slowed down. More people must adjust their original retirement plans from maintaining their livelihood considerations and extend the year and month of creating income.This is already a phenomenon that happened to more and more countries.The common characteristics of these countries are insufficient fertility rates, leading to aging or aging aging.Europe, France, France, Spain, etc. in Europe have improved their retirement age in recent years, so as to avoid bankruptcy of the national pension plan.

South Korea and Japan, whose population is also fast and aging, also faces similar problems. South Korea ’s 65 -year -old population in 2022 accounts for about 17.5%. It is expected to reach more than 20%by 2025.As high as 44.1%.Japan ’s population over 65 years old this year accounts for 29.1%, refreshing its country's record, ranking first in the world, and the employment rate of men over 66 years old is 34.1%.The employment rate of all 65 -year -old residents is 31%, and I believe it will continue to increase.The youth has insufficient labor force. If it cannot be supplemented by new immigrants, it must rely on more years of long -term employees to stay in the workplace.

More often, the solution to this problem lies in both princes.On the one hand, society's attitude towards foreign labor and new immigrants must be more understandable and tolerant. After all, they are the nostalgia forces with lack of laborers; on the other hand, employers must also change their attitudes towards elderly employees.The above survey found that 60 % of the interviewees believed that age discrimination hindered the employees of the year.Local SMEs hire 71%of the overall labor force. How they think of older employees will affect the arrangement of extended retirement age.In addition, as the market changes, enterprises and employees must keep pace with the times. The former must redesign the work and processes so that more years of employees can continue to contribute; the latter must receive trainingDemand for new jobs.

At the policy level, how to ensure the essence of the "Singaporean core" in the labor team is always a lot of challenges.Extending the age of retirement is only an aging aspect. Insufficient laborers of young people mean that the dependence of foreign labor and new immigrants will become higher and higher.At the same time, the proportion of young people and middle -aged groups with stronger willingness and capabilities in their population is shrinking, which will inevitably weaken economic vitality and business opportunities, and then affect the demand for labor.Moreover, technology cannot completely replace manpower, such as in important national defense fields.Therefore, the retirement age is extended in order to respond to the aging of the population.

In addition to filling the shortage of labor market, at the personal level, extending the age of retirement allows the elderly to be self -reliant, lived in dignity, and help maintain physical and mental health and life quality.This can also slow down the related financial pressures such as medical care and welfare in society.However, more and more elderly people have a day when they are weak and ill, and they must withdraw from the labor market and take care of the relatively young caregivers.If there is enough young people, the final answer will still return to foreign labor.For this foreseeable dependence, society must have a sober understanding and enough preparation.
