SINGAPORE’S BABY CRISIS: WILL ROBOTS SAVE THE DAY?
Singapore’s birth rate has hit rock bottom—just 0.97 kids per woman, far below the 2.1 needed to sustain a population.
Translation? More seniors, fewer workers, and a shrinking labor force.
From factories to food delivery, robots are stepping in where manpower is falling short.
By 2030, nearly 1 in 4 Singaporeans will be over 65, and the support ratio has plummeted to 4 working adults per senior. In 2014, it was 6.
The government is urging more hiring of older workers and turning to robots—Singapore has the world’s second-highest robot density—to plug the gaps.
