#781 Is the Singapore workforce going extinct?

10 years ago, 6 Singaporeans supported one elderly person. By 2024, that number has dropped to just 3.2 - and if foreign workers are kept out of the workforce, it could fall to 2 by 2030.

From fears of AI replacing jobs to frustrations over low pay, no topic is off-limits in this heated episode.
