In 2015, the Ministerial Committee on Ageing introduced the Action Plan for Successful Ageing, developed through consultations with seniors themselves and different segments of society. Since the first Action Plan, Singapore has seen a concerted effort to empower our seniors to age actively across multiple areas. This helps Singapore to be future-ready and continually prepared to be a place where all can be supported to age with peace of mind.
To ensure that our plans for Singapore's ageing landscape remain relevant for seniors of today and tomorrow, the Ministerial Committee on Ageing launched a refreshed Action Plan for Successful Ageing in 2023, charting further shifts in response to a greater diversity in experiences, aspirations, and needs of seniors.
