The United Nations defines a country as ‘ageing’ if the share of its population aged 65 and above crosses 7%.
It is considered ‘aged’ if the share exceeds 14%.
Once the share reaches 21%, it is ‘super aged’.
Singapore took only 19 years to go from ‘ageing’ to ‘aged’, and reached this milestone in 2017.
We are projected to attain ‘super aged’ status in 2026.

By 2030, 1 in 4 citizens will be aged 65 and above.
