Chart of the Day: Here's how Singapore's fertility rate lags other countries

Baby boomer generation will ditch workforce by 2025.

According to CIMB, in Singapore, the post-1960s generation had been indoctrinated to have not more than two children each while the generation before had 5-10 siblings; that baby boomer generation is growing old and will leave the workforce by 2025.

While there is nothing one can do with the large, retiring workforce, a lot of solutions lie in raising the total fertility rate (TFR); unfortunately rectifying that is also tough.

The ageing population problem is statistically linked to high GDP per capita. The good ol‟ joke is that all Singapore needs to do sometimes, is to have more blackout.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
