"Pool of citizens aged 65 and older grew to 14.4% this year, from 9.4% in 2007, as lifespans increase and births stay low"[0] [0] https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/spore-ageing-at-faster-pace-than-a-decade-ago https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/spore-ageing-at-faste...
- philliphaydon 8y agoI've never ever seen signs in the MRT about anything to do with pregnancy... (been here 7 years, catch the MRT to work every day, yellow and green lines)

One (surprising) way Singapore addresses the cost of caring for an aging population is Singapore's "Maintenance of Parents Act"[1] which basically permits parents to sue their adult children for alimony.
