In 2023, the old-age dependency ratio in Singapore was at 25.2 residents aged 65 years and older per hundred residents aged 15 to 64 years. In the last ten years, this ratio has increased from 15.2 in 2014. Singapore is facing the challenge of an increasingly aging population and a declining birth rate, leading to a possible continuation of the trend of increasing old-age dependency ratio.
