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.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Congress has five main functions: lawmaking, representing the people, performing oversight, helping constituents, and educating the public.

Constituents are the people who a member of Congress has been elected to represent. Constituents are important to members of Congress because they are the ones who will vote members in or out of office.

How does the US Congress make laws?

A member of Congress introduces a bill into his or her legislative chamber. ... The president may sign the act of Congress into law, or he may veto it. Congress can then override the president's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate thereby making the vetoed act a law.

What was the main purpose of the house of wisdom

Inga [223]

The House of Wisdom was much more than an academic center removed from the broader society. Its experts served several functions in Baghdad. Scholars from the Bayt al-Hikma usually doubled as engineers and architects in major construction projects, kept accurate official calendars, and were public servants.
