Re-employment after retirement: Singapore's model for dealing with ageing

The article discusses Singapore's new reemployment model aimed at addressing its aging population. Starting July 1, 2026, employers in Singapore must offer reemployment contracts to eligible workers who reach 64 years old and wish to continue working, extending up to age 69. This policy is part of a broader strategy to manage demographic changes, where one in four citizens is expected to be over 65 by 2030. The measure allows for renegotiating work conditions between employer and employee, rather than simply raising the retirement age. While the minimum retirement age is set at 64, individuals may choose to retire earlier if they wish. Employers are required to provide reemployment opportunities to those who meet specific criteria, including citizenship status, satisfactory performance, and medical fitness. The government plans to gradually increase both retirement and reemployment ages to 65 and 70 by 2030.
