Having one of the fastest aging populations in the world, Singapore is one of the first, if not the first, country to adopt a master plan on aging. In this plan, they share their ideas on employability, transportation, housing, civic opportunities, life-long learning, health and wellness, social engagement, aging services, public spaces, and research for a rapidly-aging society.
