Statistics from the Manpower Ministry showed that the labour force participation rate – which measures the percentage of the population who are either working or looking for a job - for workers aged 65 and above was 14.3 per cent in 2006. This rose to 26.8 per cent in 2017.
This puts Singapore at the top end of the international league of older workers. In 2016, Japan, a country which has one of the fastest ageing populations in the world, had a labour force participation rate of 22.8 per cent in 2015 for those aged 65 and up. In South Korea, the number stood at 31.5 per cent while Iceland topped the charts for the developed economies.
Companies like SingPost and PSA, where 1 in 10 of their employees are 60 and above, have embraced the move to have age-friendly workplaces and job design. In particular, investing heavily into technology to help seniors in their work.
The reason for adapting work processes is simple: Companies see the huge value in retaining their senior workers for their experience and knowledge.
