    What if we do not increase the low population growth?

    • There is not going to be enough people to work.

    • Singapore will lose to other countries

    • Singapore will stay the same

    Correct Answer
    A. There is not going to be enough people to work.
    Explanation
    If the low population growth is not increased, there will not be enough people to work. This implies that the labor force will be insufficient to meet the demands of the economy. As a result, Singapore may face challenges in sustaining its workforce and maintaining productivity levels. This could potentially hinder economic growth and competitiveness, making it more difficult for Singapore to compete with other countries. Therefore, it is crucial to address the issue of low population growth to ensure a sufficient labor supply for the country's workforce needs.

    What do we do if there is a low population growth rate?

    • Sleep

    • Eat

    • Have more babies

    • Stop marriage

    • Cry

    Correct Answer
    A. Have more babies
    Explanation
    If there is a low population growth rate, having more babies would be a possible solution to increase the population. This is because when there are more births than deaths, the population will naturally grow. Therefore, increasing the number of babies being born can help counterbalance the low growth rate.

    • Buy them a tree

    • Give them presents

    • Make them ill

    • Do not care for them

    Correct Answer
    A. Provide a home for them
    Explanation
    Providing a home for the elderly is a practical and compassionate way to care for them. It ensures that they have a safe and comfortable living environment, access to necessary amenities, and the support they need in their daily lives. This option demonstrates a commitment to their well-being and acknowledges the importance of providing a sense of belonging and security as they age.

    Which of the consequences of the aging population is not true?

    • More money are needed to provide medical care to the elderly

    • Government have to provide more pensions

    • More babies are born

    • Government have to provide more care-homes

    • Workers will not be able to support the elderly as there are going to be too many old people

    Correct Answer
    A. More babies are born
    Explanation
    The statement "More babies are born" is not true as a consequence of the aging population. The aging population refers to an increase in the proportion of elderly individuals in a population, indicating a decline in the birth rate and a decrease in the number of babies being born. This is due to factors such as declining fertility rates and changes in societal norms.

    • Problem of ageing population starts

    • Too many babies

    Correct Answer
    A. Too many babies
    Explanation
    The consequence "Too many babies" for low population growth is not true because low population growth implies a decrease in the number of births. Therefore, it is contradictory to suggest that there would be too many babies in a scenario of low population growth.

    Is Singapore an aging country?

    • Yes

    • No

    • Maybe

    • Going to be

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Singapore is considered an aging country because it has a rapidly aging population. The birth rate in Singapore has been declining, while life expectancy has been increasing. This has led to a larger proportion of elderly individuals in the population. Additionally, Singapore has a low fertility rate and a high life expectancy, which further contributes to its status as an aging country. The government has implemented various policies and initiatives to address the challenges associated with an aging population, such as healthcare and retirement planning.

    • Ageing population is when the youth age of a country or region rises

    • Ageing population is when the old age of a country or region rises

    • Ageing population is when the middle age of a country or region rises

    • Ageing population is when the birthday of a country or region rises

    • Ageing population is when the middle age of a country or region decreases

    Correct Answer
    A. Ageing population is when the middle age of a country or region rises
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Ageing population is when the middle age of a country or region rises." This means that the proportion of people in the middle age group (typically between 40 and 65 years old) is increasing in a country or region. This can occur due to factors such as declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. An aging population has implications for various aspects of society, including healthcare, retirement systems, and labor markets.
