(Reuters photo)SINGAPORE: People in the city state on the verge of retiring are prepared to keep working for longer than those that came before them. Singapore’s retirement age, however, has rapidly increased to 67 years and made residents more adaptive to working longer, according to RAND. Survey respondents were more likely to report that they expected to work past age 65 if they were male, low-educated, low-wealth, single, or healthy, the figures showed. For female Singaporeans, almost one in five sees herself in a full-time role past age 70 -- more than twice the current 7% rate. While RAND has conducted similar projects in other countries over a longer period, Singapore’s has the highest-frequency data collection.
