Chart: Singapore's 65+ age group to account for 40% of population by 2050

See how the forecasted population growth is compared to Asian peers.

The chart from HSBC shows that proportion of over 65 year olds in the populationtion is set to double if not triple across Asia, except in Australia, New Zealand and Japan (where it is already high).

In China for example, this ratio will rise from 9.9% to 30.8%, less than elsewhere, but still a significant increase, while in Korea, the over 65 ratio will jump from 13.8% currently to 40.2% in 2050, said HSBC. This implies that nearly 1 in 2 Koreans will be over the age of 65.

In Singapore, the ratio is projected to rise from the current 12% to 23% by 2030 and then to a whopping 40% by 2050.

HSBC notes that the demographic projections are based on parameters such as fertility, mortality and life expectancy, which are largely known and unlikely to change short of major catastrophes or scientific breakthroughs.

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.
