Singapore is the world's second-fastest ageing society and will become a super- aged society by 2030. This book fills an important research gap by examining Singapore's efforts to achieve healthy ageing. It draws on both semi-structured interviews and secondary data (e.g. government documents, journal articles, books, reports) to examine hot topics such as financial wellness of older adults, ageing in place, dementia friendly communities and digital connection with older adults in the time of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) In the interviews, experts and professionals provide valuable insights into the issue of healthy ageing in Singapore. The book 's goal is to provide a comprehensive portrait of healthy ageing in Singapore, while also sharing valuable lessons to help other countries achieve healthy ageing. Dr. Sabrina Ching Yuen Luk is Assistant Professor in Public Policy and Global Affairs, School of Social Science, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. She holds a Ph.D. in Political Science and International Studies from the University of Birmingham. Her research areas include healthy ageing, healthcare and long- term care reforms, smart cities, and crisis leadership and management. Dr. Luk is the leading contributor to the UNESCAP report on Evolution of Science, Technology and Innovation Policies for Sustainable Development: The Experiences of China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore.
