Government seeks public's views on population issues

As part of its ongoing public engagement on population issues, the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD) is releasing an Issues Paper to:

a. Set out our demographic challenges to understand the choices and trade-offs we must make as a nation; and b.Seek ideas and views from the public that will help us formulate our population policies.
A copy of the paper is available for download at www.population.sg.

NPTD invites members of the public to share their views on population issues as it examines Singapore’s population goals and policies, with a view to releasing a White Paper on Population.

Public Engagement

Our demographic challenges are complex and have far-reaching implications on Singapore and Singaporeans. It is therefore important for us to comprehensively discuss this topic together as a nation. This will help us develop a shared understanding of the challenges confronting us, consider the trade-offs and find the right balance to build a sustainable population that is cohesive, provides a good living environment for our people, and maintains our economic vitality.
