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.

Deffense [45]

Since the partition of British India in 1947 and creation of modern States of India and Pakistan, the two South Asian countries have been involved in four wars, including one undeclared war, and many border skirmishes and military stand-offs.

The Kashmir issue has been the main cause, whether direct or indirect, of all major conflicts between the two countries with the exception of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 where conflict originated due to turmoil in erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

According to the Declaration of Independence, which situation justifles open rebellion against a government?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

O B. a ruler denying citizens their rights

Explanation:

According to the Declaration of Independence, when a ruler denies citizens any rights, this ruler is encouraging an open rebellion against the government, as all citizens must fight for their rights to be guaranteed, no matter the situation. This argument was the justification used by the American colonies to combat the British government, since American colonists believed that the management of England limited and denied the rights of American citizens and therefore should be combated.
