They constitute a sizeable proportion (about 30 per cent) of the resident population comprising Singapore citizens and permanent residents. The first batches of these baby boomers have already 65 years old by 2012. Thereafter, baby boomers will swell the ranks of the elderly population in Singapore until 2030. The baby boomers in this study are divided into broad groups, namely, the early baby boomers (born 1947-54) and late baby boomers (1955-64). Continuing decline in fertility and mortality rates in the past three decades as well as improvements in health care facilities and services have changed the demography of Singapore from a “pyramid-shape” young, post war baby boomers population to a rapidly ageing population. With the ageing of the baby boom generation, the population of Singapore is about to grey rapidly over the next three decades. As such, there is a need for Singapore to understand the profile, perceptions and aspirations of this group, and devise strategies to address the needs and concerns as well as opportunities that arise with the ageing of baby boomers are discussed and presented in this work.</p> <iframe src="https://publications.waset.org/9997944.pdf" style="width:100%; height:400px;" frameborder="0"></iframe> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ageing%20index" title="Ageing index">Ageing index</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Baby%20boomers" title=" Baby boomers"> Baby boomers</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Demographic%20dependency%20ratio%20%28DDR%29" title=" Demographic dependency ratio (DDR)"> Demographic dependency ratio (DDR)</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Fertility%20and%20mortality%20rate" title=" Fertility and mortality rate"> Fertility and mortality rate</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Life%20expectancy" title=" Life expectancy"> Life expectancy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Singapore." title=" Singapore.
