Singapore's population is aging fast. It hopes AI can help manage its elderly care

[Scythian]

"By 2030, a quarter of Singaporeans will be 65 or over — in 2010, the figure was one in 10.
Artificial intelligence is set to play a "huge" role in elderly care in Singapore, said Chuan De Foo, a research fellow at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health.
But the use of technology must be balanced with human caregiving, said Dr Han Ei Chew, a research fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, describing a "high tech, but high touch" approach."

There is no way we can sustain with so many foreign elderly people here. The only option is to deport some of them back to their birth country.

Either Singapore leaders waited too long to respond or without response 

With 25% reaching 65 yo soon, It's too late now.

No worries as China will soon be churning out lots of household and caregiving robots to tackle its fast ageing population.

Seniors in Singapore only need to wait for the prices of these AI-driven and agile robots to drop below S$8K, which will render a human domestic helper or caregiver obsolete. Beside being cheaper than human, a robot will never feel tired nor get agitated unlike human helpers. I have an old dependent relative who changed 3 helpers within a short 1.5 years. One of them even asked the agent for her transfer on day 2 of work !

Also no worries of the human helpers falling sick or having dental problems where the employers need to pay for their full medical cost (where insurance don't cover).

And when prices of these robot drops below S$5K, a dependent senior can even buy 3 separate robots - 1 for caregiving, 1 for cooking and 1 for household cleaning.
