History

Answer:

First of all, this issue of ageing workforce is not unique to Singapore. From various published reports we know for a fact that the world’s population as a whole is ageing - and this is true of the Asia region too. Today Asia accounts for one-half of the world’s older population.

By 2050 this is set to increase to two-thirds. By every measure, Japan has the oldest population - not just in Asia, but globally. Singapore is not far behind with ageing populations on a par with Europe where the challenge of the ageing population is widely recognised and hotly debated.

With the highest median ages, longest life expectancy rates and among the lowest fertility rates in the region, Singapore is already facing the immediate challenges of declining populations and talent shortages.

At current birth rates and without immigration, Singapore’s citizen population will start to age and shrink. Between 2011 and 2030, the median age of the citizen population will rise from 39 years to 47 years.

1- The correct answer is D, the route he followed took an extraordinary amount of time, as he had to surround all the African Continent to reach India.

Looking for a shorter route, many European explorers continued his exploration trips.

2- The correct answer is B, to gain direct access to spices. Until Vasco da Gama, the European traders had to pay taxes to the muslims in Middle East to go through their territories to reach the East Indies and its spices. But when the explorers found new routes, this situation finished.

prisoha [69]
I think it's B. New taxes placed on the clergy. Both individuals didn't want the other controlling them. But Philip IV of France taxed the clergy anyways?
