Chart of the Day: This is how 2050 will look like

Without immigration, that is, and at current birth rates.

According to the Population White Paper: A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore, we will have an inverted population structure by 2050.

The National Population and Talent Division of the Prime Minister’s Office reported:

Our citizen age profile will also shift. Whereas today we have relatively few citizens aged 65 and above compared to those below 65, this will change over the years as people live longer and each successive generation decreases in size.

Eventually, we will have many more older Singaporeans than younger ones. Today, families generally have a few elderly members with a larger number in the younger generations.

By 2030, this family structure is likely to reverse itself with more elderly members than younger ones.

By 2050, Singapore will have an inverted population structure with more in the older age groups than the younger age groups.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
