Singapore's Old-age Support Ratio Nearly Halves After 10 Years
This decline is primarily attributed to the growing proportion of seniors, who have lower labour force participation rates compared to younger age groups.The labour force participation rate for younger individuals also declined.
年轻人的劳动力参与率也在下降。
Singapore's old-age support ratio nearly halved in 2024, falling to fewer than four residents aged 20 to 64 for every elderly person aged 65 and above, down from six residents per elderly person a decade ago, MoM reported. Including foreign workers, the ratio increases to five.
新加坡在2024年的老龄支持比率几乎减半，从十年前每位65岁及以上的老人有六位20至64岁的居民下降到不到四位，据《妈妈》报道。包括外国工人在内，这个比率增加到五。
The labour force participation rate for individuals aged 15 and above declined from 68.6% in 2023 to 68.2% in 2024, despite rising participation rates in most age groups.
2023年，年满15岁及以上的个人劳动参与率从68.6%下降到2024年的68.2%，尽管大多数年龄组的参与率有所上升。
This decline is primarily attributed to the growing proportion of seniors, who have lower labour force participation rates compared to younger age groups.
这一下降主要归因于老年人比例增加，他们的劳动参与率较年轻年龄组较低。
Nevertheless, Singapore's labour force participation rate for residents aged 15 and above remains higher than that of many other major cities with ageing populations.
尽管如此，新加坡15岁及以上居民的劳动参与率仍高于许多其他老龄化城市。
In addition, Singapore's labour force participation rate for seniors ranks high compared to other major cities. This is due to a steady increase in the participation rate of seniors aged 55 and above over the past decade, driven by government efforts to boost their employability.
此外，新加坡65岁及以上老年人的劳动参与率在其他主要城市中排名较高。这是由于过去十年间65岁及以上老年人参与率稳步增加，受政府努力提高他们的就业能力推动。
The employment rate for seniors aged 65 and above rose to 31.7% in 2024, following declines in the past two years. Seniors were mostly employed in industries such as administrative and support services, food and beverage services, and transportation and storage.
2024年，65岁及以上老年人的就业率上升至31.7%，此前两年有所下降。老年人主要在行政和支持服务、餐饮服务以及运输和存储等行业就业。
Meanwhile, in age groups where the labour force participation rate increased, the employment rate also rose. According to MoM, this suggests that the labour market successfully absorbed the additional entry of residents into the workforce.
与此同时，在劳动参与率增加的年龄组中，就业率也上升。据《妈妈》报道，这表明劳动力市场成功吸纳了更多居民进入劳动力。
