Turning Silver into Gold - Smart Ageing Innovation in Singapore
Abstract
By 2030, Singapore will experience a profound shift in its age demographics with the elderly population increasing by three times. This calls for a radical change in perspective and in action to reframe ageing. The Government launched an Action Plan to build “A Nation for All Ages” starting in 2015. It focused on creating opportunities for seniors to learn, volunteer, and live independently and healthily, well after retirement. Achieving these aspirations is only possible through a whole-society, citizen-centric effort that brings together everyone to turn silver into gold. Leaders and professionals from the public and social sectors will share about their efforts in promoting successful ageing in Singapore.
