Programme Introduction




1. The ageing workforce coupled with declining birth rates, has led to the slow down in the growth of Singapore’s labour force. A new concern now would also be to improve on the re-employment of workers beyond the age of 62 and raise the effective employment rate of workers aged between 55 - 64, from the current 54% to 65% by year 2011. The role of the mature workers in a diverse and expanding economy cannot be discounted. Their experience, knowledge and expertise acquired at work over the years can be a valuable asset to any company.

2. As part of the further efforts of the Tripartite Committee on Employability of Older Workers (TRICOM), the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) is extending as well as enhancing the ADVANTAGE! scheme over the next 3 years. SNEF is working with companies to enhance the employability of older workers through Age-friendly practices. Funding up to $400,000 is available for companies to support these projects.

3. You are cordially invited to attend this briefing to know more about the enhanced funding available and hear first-hand benefits of companies which have implemented Age-Friendly projects at their workplaces.
