As Singapore’s population ages, more seniors may find themselves with fewer people around them for regular companionship and support.

While family and peers remain important, younger people can also play a role in helping seniors stay connected and feel less alone.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Narasimman Tivasiha Mani, CEO of Empower Ageing and Hayden Ong, a youth volunteer, about why younger people need to play a bigger role in supporting seniors and how these connections can help build a stronger sense of community.
