Reasons to celebrate as an Active Ager
1. You're the minor majority!
According to the Ministry of Manpower, today, one in 12 Singaporeans are 65 or older; by 2030, this will become one in five. This means that you can set the pace for younger Singaporeans, like your children and grandchildren to live actively well into their golden years. Just like you!
2. You're priviledged!
Do you know that a lot of organisations are pro-elderly? That means you might just be able to get discounts at your favourite eatery or place.
3. Help is available
With respect to those who have built Singapore (that's you!), the government has set up various means to aid your successful retirement. If you need help, check out the internet and you will be sure to find something of interest. A good place to start is http://seniors.gov.sg/. Log on now!
4. You're wanted!
A survey by Human Resource Institute found that companies kept older workers for their experience, skills, availability of jobs that matched their skills and experience. Another survey by Ministry of Manpower found that companies look to older workers to set an example of loyalty and commitment to the company as they are less likely to job-hop.
