Singapore raises retirement and reemployment ages

The first increase will happen in 2026.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will raise the retirement and reemployment ages following an agreement with tripartite partners.

The first increase will come in 2026 when the retirement age will climb from 63 to 64, whilst the reemployment age will adjust from 68 to 69.

By 2023, the retirement and reemployment ages will increase to 65 and 70, respectively.

The last time Singapore increased its retirement and reemployment ages was in July 2022.

Apart from raising the retirement and reemployment ages, the MOM will also introduce two bills in the Parliament to ensure inclusive and fair workplaces in Singapore.

The first measure will be a new Workplace Fairness Legislation designed to enhance protections against discrimination and offer increased support for employees seeking to report grievances.

The MOM also aims to update Singapore's regulatory frameworks to strengthen protections for platform workers in areas such as housing, retirement adequacy, work injury compensation and representation.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
