Abstract |
The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a defined-contribution savings plan forming the key pillar of the pension system in Singapore. The CPF Lifelong Income For the Elderly (LIFE) program, which provides lifetime income for retirees, is a mandatory pension scheme for all Singapore residents. In this paper we construct an actuarial framework to analyze the LIFE program. We use this framework to study the plan payout outcomes with respect to changes in mortality and annuity fund return assumptions. We also examine the effects of some possible changes in the program on the payouts and bequests. |

Abstract |
In its efforts to tackle the challenges associated with a rapidly ageing population, the Singapore government has been actively formulating and implementing a comprehensive array of social and welfare policies since the 1980s. This chapter charts the development of ageing policies over the past three decades within the key areas of financial support; employment, human capital development and active ageing; healthcare systems; as well as housing and the social integration of seniors. By examining the social policy landscape through the analytical lens of the welfare mix, we aim to elucidate the characteristics of the state’s adoption of the ‘many helping hands’ approach in facilitating, combining, and coordinating the roles of various sectors involved in the provision of welfare for seniors. We also highlight the need for Singapore’s ageing policies to continue recognizing and adapting to certain trends – such as declining average family sizes and greater diversity in the preferences and profiles of seniors – that serve to increasingly underscore the limits of the family in supporting their elders. |

Description |
This paper argues that the divergent logics of “smartness” and “sustainability” can lead to parallel regimes of sustainability. Whilst sustainability is often used to justify the need for smart cities, smart cities are often undermined by the neoliberal logics of digital governance. Moreover, because the intersection of digital technologies and society is a negotiated one, smart solutions often fail to provide adequate solutions to social problems. This is especially true when smart solutions are used to augment or replace hitherto human-centred processes, like caregiving. Parallel regimes of sustainability are an outcome of these failures. Drawing on an analysis of a trial of in-home smart eldercare technologies in Singapore, four binary pairings – public-private, individual-community, remote-proximate and passive-active – are used to define the parallel regimes of sustainable eldercare that emerged in response to smart technologies. To conclude, the need for urban paradigms to evolve in conversation with society is emphasised. |

Description |
The juxtaposition of a young city-state showing relative maturity as a rapidly aging society suffuses the population aging narrative in Singapore and places the “little red dot” on the spotlight of international aging. We first describe population aging in Singapore, including the characteristic events that shaped this demographic transition. We then detail the health care and socioeconomic ramifications of the rapid and significant shift to an aging society, followed by an overview of the main aging research areas in Singapore, including selected population-based data sets and the main thrust of leading aging research centers/institutes. After presenting established aging policies and programs, we also discuss current and emerging policy issues surrounding population aging in Singapore. We aim to contribute to the international aging literature by describing Singapore’s position and extensive experience in managing the challenges and maximizing the potential of an aging population. We hope that similar graying populations in the region will find the material as a rich source of information and learning opportunities. Ultimately, we aspire to encourage transformative collaborations—locally, regionally, and internationally—and provide valuable insights for policy and practice. |
