Are those data reliable? If yes, then the trend is truly worrying. Our fertility rate is already at 1.06, and if you take into account future medical advances, we'd be extremely overburdened. How would higher taxes and lower wages sound like to you?
-
on the other hand, what happens to the generation after that if the trend is constant??
is this just a temporary problem that will jsut go away once that generation dies off? -
Its a mistake to think importing more population will solve the aging population problem . It can delay the problem for 20 -25years, but if the new immigrants also have the same fertility rate of 1.26, We would have an even larger aging population.
Importing population is a quick fix solution. It will only pass the problem to the next generation in 25 years time. By then we would need to import an even larger younger population to maintain an equitable ratio.
The real solution is to address the problem of low fertility rate.
United States with fertility rates of 2.09, has more family friendly culture. If Singapore (ranked 224 on fertility rates) is really sincere about the the role of family in the country, it should adopt more family friendly practices like allowing parents to take day off to attend their children's activities in school.

Yes.I agree with Kilua.Originally posted by kilua:Its a mistake to think importing more population will solve the ageing population. It can delay the problem for 20 years, but if the new immigrants also have the same fertility rate of 1.26. We would have an even larger aging population.
Importing population at best is a quick fix. It wil only pass the problem to the next generation in 25 years time. By then we would need to import an even larger younger population to maintain an equitable ratio.
