The Agenda: More than retirees... Are Singapore’s seniors an untapped resource?

View descriptionShare
 

Singapore is ageing fast, with seniors aged 65 and above now making up more than one in five residents. But while much of the conversation around an ageing population focuses on who will care for our seniors, what if we also asked what our seniors can contribute?

Seniors at Lucky Haven are teaching carrom, running AI workshops and connecting with younger generations, showing that growing older doesn't mean stepping away from society.

Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Tan Cheng Kok, a senior volunteer and AI trainer at Lucky Haven, and Dixon Lim, Executive Director of Antica Community Development and Services, to find out more.
