Abstract

As of mid-2017, an active panel of 11,000 Singaporeans aged 50 to 70 years (couples and single people) are registered on our survey panel. Each month, members of the panel are asked questions about their income, expenditure, health, work and housing choices. The panel survey is one of the largest population-representative monthly surveys conducted in the world. The rich information obtained from the panel survey will help Singaporeans better understand how well-prepared they are for old age. It will also help inform government policy to better prepare citizens for old age. The data will be completely confidential, and researchers do not know the identity of the participants. The Singapore Life Panel® will provide a rich insight into how well-prepared Singaporeans are for their old age. The research will be directly communicated to the Singapore government and its agencies in order to improve the livelihoods of Singaporeans. Many countries face the ageing dilemma, but Singapore can be the best-prepared country in the world.
