Singaporeans on the verge of retiring are prepared to keep working for longer than those that came before them.
Men aged 55 to 59 had far greater expectations to work full-time past 65 and 70 than employees currently are, while women had higher such projections beyond 62, 65, and 70, according to the latest survey by the Singapore Management University’s Centre for Research on the Economics of Ageing, which works with the U.S.-based RAND Corporation.
