Synthia is quite uneducated. Australians Much higher chance to die at home. Tsk tsk....
In summary:
- **Singapore:** Approximately 50-60 people die alone at home each year out of a population of 5.9 million.
- **Australia:** Approximately 16,000 people die alone at home each year out of a population of 25.7 million.
###SINGAPORE:
- **Statistics:** According to a 2020 report by the Lien Foundation and Singapore Management University, about 50 to 60 people die alone at home each year in Singapore. Given Singapore’s population of approximately 5.9 million, this translates to a very small percentage of the overall population.
### Australia:
-issue of people dying alone at home has been a topic of concern, particularly among the elderly.
- **Statistics:** According to a 2017 report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), about 1 in 10 deaths among the elderly occur alone at home. While this number can vary year to year, it suggests a more significant issue compared to Singapore.
- **Population Context:** With a population of around 25.7 million (as of 2023), and assuming the total annual deaths are around 160,000, with roughly 10% of these deaths occurring alone at home, this translates to approximately 16,000 deaths each year where individuals die alone at home. This represents a larger percentage of the overall population compared to Singapore.
### Conclusion:
When comparing the two countries, Australia has a higher rate of people dying alone at home in terms of both absolute numbers and percentage of the population. The proportion of elderly individuals and the incidence of solitary deaths are higher in Australia relative to its population compared to Singapore.
In summary:
- **Singapore:** Approximately 50-60 people die alone at home each year out of a population of 5.9 million.
- **Australia:** Approximately 16,000 people die alone at home each year out of a population of 25.7 million.
Thus, Australia has a higher rate of people dying alone at home when considering the percentage of the population.
